Specific Surface Area

This document contains data from a size distribution analysis of particles undergoing filtration. It includes the particle size ranges measured, the cumulative mass percentage of particles undersize, and calculations of specific surface area, Sauter mean diameter, permeability, and specific resistance based on the Kozeny-Carman model. The specific surface area per unit volume calculated from the size distribution is 489,293.852 1/meters.
