equivalent sphere, dsv of a cuboid particle of side length 1, 2 and 4 mm. (ans:
dv = 2.481mm, dsv = 1.714mm)
2. Particle (density=2000kg/m3) with sphericity of 0.9 are poured into a
container. A sample of 2000 particles taken from the powder weighed 1000
mg. Determine volume diameter and surface/volume diameter. (ans: d v =
7.816 x 10-4 m , dsv = 7.034 x 10-4 m )

the following diameters:
a. The equivalent volume sphere diameter
b. The equivalent surface sphere diameter
c. The surface/volume diameter
d. The sieve diameter ( the width of minimum aperture through which the
particle will pass)
e. The projected area diameters ( the diameter of a circle having the
same area as the projected area of the particle resting in a stable
position)
(ans: (a) 2.84mm; (b) 3.57mm; (c) 1.80mm; (d) 2.00 mm; (e) 2.76mm,
1.6mm, 3.91mm)
4. For a regular cylinder particle of diameter 0.100 mm and length 1.00mm,
calculate the following diameters:
a. The equivalent volume sphere diameter
b. The equivalent surface sphere diameter
c. The surface/volume diameter
d. The sieve diameter ( the width of minimum aperture through which the
particle will pass)

same area as the projected area of the particle resting in a stable
position)
(ans: (a) 0.247mm; (b) 0.324mm; (c) 0.142mm; (d) 0.10mm;
(e)0.10mm, 0.357)
