Two shredders are used to process nearly identical municipal solid waste. The products are sieved, and the data are presented as Rosin-Rammler plots. From these plots, it is concluded that the characteristic size ( x 0 ) and n value are as follows: b. Which shredder yielded a more uniform product? I low do you know? c. Using a Rosin-Rammler plot. Show the curves for each shredder. Assume a linear curve on the Rosin-Rammler plot.

Two shredders are used to process nearly identical municipal solid waste. The products are sieved, and the data are presented as Rosin-Rammler plots. From these plots, it is concluded that the characteristic size (x0) and n value are as follows:
b. Which shredder yielded a more uniform product? I low do you know?
c. Using a Rosin-Rammler plot. Show the curves for each shredder. Assume a linear curve on the Rosin-Rammler plot.
(a)
The shredder which did a better job in reducing the size of the solid waste.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The value of
| Shredder | Characteristic Size |
|
| Trash Mauler | ||
| Gobbler |
Calculation:
Write the equation for the Rosin-Rammler plot.
Here, the characteristic particle size is
Calculate the size of the screen required to pass
Substitute
(b)
The shredder that yielded a more uniform product.
(c)
The curves for each shredder using Rosin-Rammler plot.
