Question

Consider a sample of disc-shaped (cylindrical) particles with circular cross-section of varying diameter D. All particles have the same thickness L equal to 1 um. The sample contains 90% (by volume) of particles with diameter 100 m, 9% (by volume) of particles with diameter 10 um and 1% (by volume) of particles with diameter 1 um. (a) Calculate the number fraction of particles of each diameter in the sample. (b) Determine the volume equivalent sphere diameter dv of particles of each diameter. (c) Calculate the number weighted mean, dv,N, and the volume weighted mean, dv,V, of the volume equivalent sphere diameter of particles in the sample. (d) What volume fractions of each of the three sizes would you choose in order to get a sample with a number weighted mean, dv,N, equal to 10 um?

 

um = 10-6 m
