mill speed are used to calculate the energy input. The specific energy input (E, in kWh/t) is the energy input divided by the mill solids load. The energy specific cumulative grinding rate (k) at each particle size is then calculated from the test feed and product size distributions using the first order disappearance rate equation (Equation 4).
