How to Calculate and Solve for Total Mass of Feed for Classifiers | Mineral Processing
Last Updated on December 6, 2021
The image above represents total mass of feed for classifiers.
To compute for total mass of feed for classifiers, two essential parameters are needed and these parameters are Mass of Overflow (O) and Mass of Underflow (U).
The formula for calculating total mass of feed for classifiers:
F = O + U
Where:
F = Total Mass of Feed for Classifiers
O = Mass of Overflow
U = Mass of Underflow
Let’s solve an example;
Find the total mass of feed for classifiers when the mass of overflow is 21 and the mass of underflow is 7.
This implies that;
O = Mass of Overflow = 21
U = Mass of Underflow = 7
F = O + U
F = 21 + 7
F = 28
Therefore, the total mass of feed for classifiers is 28 Kg.
Calculating the Mass of Overflow when the Total Mass of Feed for Classifiers and the Mass of Underflow is Given.
O = F – U
Where:
O = Mass of Overflow
F = Total Mass of Feed for Classifiers
U = Mass of Underflow
Let’s solve an example;
Find the mass of overflow when the total mass of feed for classifiers is 24 and the mass of underflow is 10.
This implies that;
F = Total Mass of Feed for Classifiers = 24
U = Mass of Underflow = 10
O = F – U
O = 24 – 10
O = 14
Therefore, the mass of overflow is 14 Kg.
Calculating the Mass of Underflow when the Total Mass of Feed for Classifiers and the Mass of Overflow is Given.
U = F – O
Where:
U = Mass of Underflow
F = Total Mass of Feed for Classifiers
O = Mass of Overflow
Let’s solve an example;
Find the mass of underflow when the total mass of feed for classifiers is 30 and the mass of overflow is 20.
This implies that;
F = Total Mass of Feed for Classifiers = 30
O = Mass of Overflow = 20
U = F – O
U = 30 – 20
U = 10
Therefore, the mass of underflow is 10 Kg.
