A simple equation for calculating net power draft is P 2.00 3 cD 2.5 m LKl kW (8.12) Kl is the loading factor which can be obtained from Figures 8.5 for the popular mill types. 3 c is the mill speed measured as a fraction of the critical speed. More reliable models for the prediction of the power drawn by ball, semi-autogenous and fully autogenous
