Tutorial Particlesizeand Distribution 2019

The document discusses particle mechanics concepts including calculating different particle diameters for regular and irregularly shaped particles, determining sphericity, Stokes diameter, Feret's diameter, and Martin's diameter. It also covers topics like changes to mean particle size after agglomeration, calculating mean diameters from a particle size distribution, fitting a distribution to Gaussian, differences between sample and population statistics, and performing a screen analysis on a mixture to determine weight ratios of coarse, middle, and fine fractions separated by different mesh screens.

surface –volume diameter(d) the sieve diameter, (e)the projected area diameter (f)

dia. After the agglomeration, all 46.4mm dia particles aggregate into a single
particle. Find out the change of number average mean dia and mean volume

10. Obtain the expression of population mean with confidence of 95% from the
sample data

11. It is desired to separate a mixture of crystals into three fractions, a coarse fraction
retained on an 8 mesh screen, a middle fraction passing an 8 mesh but retained on
a 14 mesh screen and a fine fraction passing a 14 mesh. The screen analysis of the
sample are given below. The mesh sizes are conforming to the Tyler standard.
Assuming the analysis are accurate, find out the ratio by weight of each of the
three factions.
