Estimation of shear rates inside a ball mill
Shear rates were estimated by considering the ball charge motion inside the mill. Two types of ball motion, cascading and cataracting, were taken into account. For the first type of motion, Morrell's power model approach [Morrell, S., 1996. Power draw of wet tumbling mills and its relationship to charge dynamics: Part 1.

One of the most used tumbling mills is the ball mill. This paper reviews different types of grinding media that have been developed and improved over the years and their properties.
Machine learning solves grinding mill liner monitoring
As the drum rotates, the ore/balls are lifted up the side of the drum's interior by vanes to the cascading angle, where they fall off and crash to the bottom, reducing the ore. As drum diameters can be as large as 10 m, the drum is an expensive piece of kit. To prevent damage to the drum, metal or rubber liners are inserted.
