Mill critical speed is defined as that rotational speed at which an infinitely small particle will centrifuge, assuming no slippage between the particle and the shell. The critical speed, Nc, in revolutions per minute, is a function of the mill diameter, D, expressed as: Nc = 42.3/√D (meters) or Nc = 76.63/√D (feet)

Power draw is related directly to mill length, and, empirically to the diameter to the power 2.34. Theoretically, this exponent should be 2.5 (Bond, 1961). Power draw is directly related to mill speed (in r.p.m., or, fraction of critical speed) over the normal operating range.
