    This document contains the answers to 3 questions about a refining process. It provides calculations for the Consistent Effective Length (CEL) of bars in a refiner, bar cutting speeds at different rotational speeds, and an analysis of differences in tensile strength values between hand sheets and refined samples. The CEL was calculated to be 5.487 km/rev for a single refiner based on assumptions about bar lengths. Bar cutting speeds were determined to be 130.31 km/s and 86.88 km/s for single refiners running at 1425 rpm and 950 rpm respectively. The lower speed of 950 rpm was selected for motor sizing. Differences in tensile strength were attributed to fibers being released without screening/

    To calculate the CEL the following assumptions were made
    1. 30mm of the bars was removed as it was not used in
    refining
    2. the angle used was 60 degrees instead of 21 for the three segments.
    3. the table above shows the length of the bars and these were measured
    one by one
    4 the number of stators and rotors were calculated as follows

    360=6
    60

    The total number of rotors and stators will be 6


    The CEL = Zr*Zst*l
    = 6*6*152408mm
    =5486688 mm/rev
    =5486.688 m/rev
    =5.487 km/rev for a single refiner
    =10.974 km/rev for a double refiner

    Question 2
    Bar cutting speed=CEL*n where n is the rotational speed rev/s
    For a 1425rpm the Ls = CEL*n
    = 5.487*(1425/60)
    =130.31km/s for single refiner
    =10.974*(1425/60)
    =260.63km/s for double refiner
    For a 950rpm the Ls=CEL*n
    =5.487*(950/60)
    =86.88km/s for a single refiner
    =173.76km/s for a double refiner

    Motor selection will be determined as follows

    Pe= 360-125=1.80
    Ls 130.31

    Pe= 250-45=2.35
    Ls 86.88

    The 950rpm will used for the operation

    Question 3

    The is difference in tensile strength value as that the hand sheet had its bond flexible. This was mainly due to that fibres had been released. This
    caused them to have a high strength and the consistency had no affected. There was also no screening and cleaning was done. Fibres were
    separated.

    On the 75% tensile strength, there the sample may have undergone refining in which refining affects tensile strength. The type of consistency
    used also helped in the tensile strength.
