Question

The impact mill machine has been used for size reduction process. The crushed granites has been characterized using screen analysis. Table 1 shows the cumulative mass distribution of the crushed granite particles at different impact velocities of 50m/s and 70m/s. the sphericity and specific gravity of the particle are 0.67 and 2.7, respectively.

Calculate the arithmetic mean diameter of the particles at impact velocity 50m/s
