MODELING THE SPECIFIC GRINDING ENERGY AND BALLMILL .
Prediction of the mill dimensions zThe ballmill dimensions (internal mill diameter D and length L), for a given (L/D) ratio, for feed size D f and product size d (mm), for a known Bond work index w i (kWh/short ton) and for desirable capacity T (short ton/h), can be calculated from: D d T D D L f ) ( ) (1 − × =
