Mill Characteristics
Mill output reduces with increasing moisture and fineness
The amount depends on moisture content & temperature. (air velocity in burner tube ~15-20 m/s)

The drying air should not be too hot to cause premature ignition of coal fines. Reactive coal ignites at a lower temperature than less reactive coal. This sets the temperature limit.
Heat balance
Heat given by drying air, Ma, is Ha = Ma(Ti-To) Cp Heat absorbed by the coal = Hc where Md dry coal feed, Mm moisture with feed and Rem fraction of the moisture removed Ha = Hc = Ma(Ti-To) Cp= Md(To-Trc)Cc + Mm(To-Trc)Cm+ MmRemLm Hot air is a product of preheated air and cold air (Ti-Te) = Rh(Tpre-Te) where Rh is fraction of preheated air in the mixture
