Brent Bissoon Particle Technology, Assignment 1: Graph Showing Gaudin-Schuhmann Plot of LN (P (X) ) Versus LN (X)

This document contains particle size distribution data for a sample analyzed across different size ranges. It includes the volume fraction, average particle size, and calculations of various statistical parameters like the mass mean diameter, number mean diameter, and Gaudin-Schuhmann plot. Graphs are presented showing the cumulative percent passing versus average particle size and the Gaudin-Schuhmann plot. Key particle size parameters like D10, D50, and D90 are reported.
