Step-by-step solution

Step 1 of 1

Find the volume flow rate of the slurry by using the following equation:

…… (1)

Here, is number of rotations of the shaft, is rotation rate and is total volume of the
coal slurry.

Since there are two lobes there is only one half rotation of each lobe in the shaft. The volume of
coal slurry is equal to the twice the volume of lobe.

Substitute 0.145 gal for

Substitute for , 220 rpm for , and 0.5 for n in equation (1)

Therefore, volume flow rate of coal slurry is
