Frequency distribution of particle

Where, t(X) is the turbidity at the wavelength X, N the number of particles/ml, C the concentration in g/ml, D the particle diameter, f(D) the frequency distribution of particle sizes, p the density of the particles, m is the complex refractive index ratio and Q(a,m) is the Mie overall extinction efficiency. The extinction efficiency is given by... 

I have refrained from using the term mechanical analysis except once or twice in the first part of the text. The use of this term to describe a size-frequency distribution of particles is unfortunate and should be discouraged because its meaning is too limited. 

The frequency distribution of particle radius F(P) is related to the exit age distribution (t) with the identity... 

Particle Size Distribution Changes. The number frequency distribution of particles for the base and end latexes are plotted in Figure 3. No particles in the end latex formed by agglomeration had a diameter larger than 9600 A. Furthermore, particles of 1300-9600 A constituted only about 1.2% of the total number of particles. The small particle size (200-400 A) that had constituted more than 5% in the base latex disappeared completely. The peak of the distribution curve shifted from about 380 A to 700 A. 

As has been shown by micromorphological studies, micas exhibit a lamellar structure (Figure 1). The thickness of the lamellae was found to vary between about 0.05 and 0.1 /tin. Examination of electron micrographs obtained from the < 1 /xm fraction of different mica species (Figure 2) revealed that the frequency distribution of particle thickness centers around... 

One may justify the differential equation (A3.4.371 and equation (A3.4.401 again by a probability argument. The number of reacting particles VAc oc dc is proportional to the frequency of encounters between two particles and to the time interval dt. Since not every encounter leads to reaction, an additional reaction probability has to be introduced. The frequency of encounters is obtained by the following simple argument. Assuming a statistical distribution of particles, the probability for a given particle to occupy a... 

Particle Size Distribution. Almost every feed slurry is a mixture of fine and coarse particles. Performance depends on the frequency of distribution of particle size ia the feed. Figure 5 shows that whereas all of the coarse particles having a diameter greater than some are separated, fewer of the very fine particles are, at any given feed rate. The size distribution frequency of particles ia feed and centrate for a fine and coarse feed are quite different. More coarse particles separate out than fine ones. Classification of soHds by size is often done by centrifugal sedimentation. 

The distribution of particle sizes can be seen more readily by plotting a size frequency curve, such as that shown in Figure 1.6, in which the slope Ax/Ad) of the cumulative... 

It is also clearly seen in Fig. 2.34 that the relative frequency distribution of powder particles remains log-normal starting from Mg through any powder regardless of the duration of reactive milling time. This is exactly the same behavior as already described for mechanically milled commercial MgH powders (Fig. 2.20). The experimental coefficient of variation, CV(ECD) = 5D(ECD)/M(ECD) (where SD is the standard deviation... 

The model of Rabkin and Skripnyuk [75] seems to be quite attractive in its explanation of pressure hysteresis observed in Fig. 2.43a. Our results always show a log-normal frequency distribution of powder particles (Fig. 2.34), which points towards the possibility of the existence of large and small fractions of particle sizes. This, in turn, is compatible with the model which states that fully transformed and nontransformed particles can coexist depending on their sizes. 

T,he size and mass frequency distributions of the particles in clouds from ground surface bursts have an essential bearing on predictions of the fallout field resulting from such nuclear explosions. Fallout models that are still in use employ size distributions which have been derived... 

In accordance with this fact and also with the result from multivariate autocorrelation analysis, the factor scores for smaller particles depend on wind direction. This dependence is illustrated by the example of the fifth fraction of particles in Fig. 7-23. The factor scores of the first, anthropogenic, factor have a broad maximum in the range of 130-180°. Comparison with the frequency distribution of wind direction in the time interval under investigation (Fig. 7-24) shows that the direction in which the scores of this anthropogenic factor have a maximum (Fig. 7-23) does not correspond with the most frequent wind direction (240-330°). This maximum of factor scores in the range of 130-180° indicates the influence of industrial and communal emissions in the conurbations of Bremen and Hamburg. 

Because they undergo frequent collisions, particles will not have a constant velocity or move in specific directions such as the x-, y- or z-direction. The Maxwell-Boltzmann frequency distribution is used to describe the non-uniform distribution of particle velocities (c) brought about by collisions. 

The frequency distribution of the particle size is related to the number of particles eluting at volume v as follows ... 

Pollutant. A pollutant can be defined"as a substance that is brought near a receptor by the atmosphere. A particular pollutant is distinguished from others by its physical and chemical properties. For example, it may be a gas or it may be an aerosol with a certain distribution of particle sizes oxides of sulfur may be present as S02, S03, or H2S04. The pollutant can also be characterized with respect to concentration, the length of time that a certain concentration is present, or the frequency distributions of periods of known duration and concentration (1). The pollutant... 

If F(d) denotes the weight-frequency distribution of the particles being sieved, then the residue R(t) will be expressed by... 

Particle-Size Distribution—The size-frequency distribution of ground materials differs from the usual type of frequency-distribution in chance sampling. As a general rule the number of particles increases with decreasing particle-diameter. Martin (1923) has shown that frequency-distribution follows the law of compound interest, namely... 

The expansion of this equation reduces in the limit to Eq (23-12) Thus, we are enabled to predict the frequency distribution of 1, 2, 3, etc., particles in the squares constituting the grid. 

The geometric standard deviation (GSD) is defined as the size ratio at 84.2% on the cumulative frequency curve to the median diameter. This assumes that the distribution of particle sizes is lognormal. A monodisperse, i.e. ideal aerosol, has a GSD of 1, although in practice an aerosol with a GSD of <1.22 is described as monodisperse while those aerosols with a GSD >1.22 are referred to as poly dispersed or heterodispersed. 

Suppose a sample of 12 particles of corn starch with fairly narrow particle size distribution (25-35 pm) were measured. In this case, the distribution of particles is very narrow and approximately distributed as normal or Gaussian pattern. To convert these numbers into frequencies, it is noted that there are 12 particles in total that is, dividing each number by 12 and multiplying this by 100 will give the percent frequency, as shown in Table 13. 

Figure 15.4. A cumulative distribution of particle sizes (left-hand graph), and a frequency distribution (right-hand graph). The dashed line in the frequency distribution is the derivative of the cumulative distribution.

The original Acoustosizer used a single frequency whereas a later development has a range of 13 frequencies between 0.3 and 13 MHz. This allows the measurement of the dynamic mobility spectrum and the determination of the zeta potential and particle size. In order to invert the mobility spectrum into a size distribution a log-normal distribution of particle size is assumed. A comparison with photon correlation spectroscopy for determining particle size and laser Doppler anemometry for particle charge eonfirmed the results using ACS [266]. These and additional sedimentation measurements confirmed that changes in particle size and zeta potential due to dilution effects are likely to occur in aqueous and non-stabilized systems.
