A cylinder of \( 0.60 \) m diameter must reach a peripheral speed of \( 22 \) m/s. The rotational speed required is

  • A.220 rev/min
  • B.700 rev/min
  • C.350 rev/min
  • D.1400 rev/min

Answer: B

Correct answer: 700 rev/min

Peripheral speed is circumference times rotational speed, so rearranging:

\[ N = \frac{v}{\pi D} = \frac{22}{\pi \times 0.60} = \frac{22}{1.885} = 11.7\ \mathrm{rev/s} \]

\[ 11.7 \times 60 = 700\ \mathrm{rev/min} \]

It is the peripheral speed that governs threshing, not the rotational speed, so cylinders of different diameter must run at different revolutions to achieve the same effect - which is why settings cannot be carried between machines without converting.
