    Term Project: Power Requirement For Grinding of Coffee Beans and Screen Analysis

    Uploaded by

    Wellington Flores
    This document is a term project proposal from Bicol University's Department of Chemical Engineering. The proposal aims to determine the power requirement and screen analysis for grinding coffee beans. It introduces grinders as size reduction equipment and discusses Rittinger's Law for estimating the energy required for comminution. Rittinger's Law assumes energy consumed is proportional to the newly generated surface area and provides a formula to calculate the work needed to reduce mass with variables like power, mass flowrate, and mean particle diameters before and after size reduction.

    Particle Technology

    Abstract

    The proposal aims to create a product described as a soluble, flowable, dry-to-the-


    touch coffee flavored powdered alcohol. It readily and uniformly dissolves in water to form
    low-viscosity liquid solution. It is classified as a type of coffee flavored liqueur. It is comprised
    of alcohol powder component and coffee mix powder component mixed to form final product.
    It is also aimed to determine the specifications and design equipment for the production
    process of the product.

    are calculated using Rittinger’s Law.
