A belt conveyor is required to deliver crushed limestone having a bulk density of 75 lb/cu ft at the rate of 200 tons/hr. The conveyor is to be 200 ft between center of pulleys with a rise of 25 ft. The largest lumps are 4 in. and constitute 15% of the total. The conveyor will discharge over the end. For a belt speed of 200 fpm, what is the minimum width of belt that can be used? Calculate the horsepower for the drive motor.
You are given the following information about a dry-batchpaving operation. You are going to use one mixer that has aservice rate of 30 services per hour. The dry-batch trucksyou use for bringing concrete to the paver have an arrivalrate of 7.5 arrivals per hour. Each truck carries 6 cubic yardsof concrete. You have a total amount of 13,500 cubic yardsof concrete to pour. You rent a truck at $15 per hour and thepaver at $60 per hour. If the job takes more than 80 hours,you pay a penalty of $140 per hour owing to delays in jobcompletion. On the basis of least cost, determine the numberof trucks you should use. Plot the cost versus the numberof trucks used.
