Exercise – (I) specific gravity of slurry
Calculate specific gravity of slurry which contains 65% lime. The specific gravity of lime is 2600 kg/m3. Also calculate volume of slurry.
Substituting the values in equation 1of lecture 2
By solving 
Exercise – (II): % solids in slurry
A slurry stream containing quartz is diverted into a 1 liter can. Time taken to fill is 8 seconds. The density of the slurry and quartz is 1400 kg/m3 and 2600 kg/m3 respectively. Calculate (a) percent solids by weight and (b) mass flow rate quartz within slurry.
Substituting the values in equation 1 of lecture 2
Equation 3 of lecture 2
=289kg/hr.
If the time to fill the can is 7s,rest everything remains the same, calculate mass flow rate of quartz in slurry.
Answer =330 kg/hr
