Three screen sizes (2.0, 1.0, 0.5 mm) were used for milling cowpeas and produced the particle size distributions shown in Figure 8. With the 2.0 mm screen, particles were concentrated (76%) in the 30-100 mesh range. With the 1.0 mm screen, most of the particles (82%) were in the 50-200 mesh range. Eighty per cent of the particles were in the 200-400 mesh range with the 0.5 mm screen. 

Measurable quantities of cotton dust were extracted from small cotton lint samples by means of high-velocity air jets. Dust removed in this manner was sized by a wire-mesh screen that restricted the flow of particles larger than the openings in the screen. Particles smaller than the openings in the screen were collected for gravimetric analysis.

All the examples described above show that confinement in different cases may be responsible for nonmonotonic relaxation kinetics and can lead to a saddle-like dependence of relaxation time versus temperature. However, this is not the only possible reason for nonmonotonic kinetics. For instance, work [258] devoted to the dielectric study of an antiferromagnetic crystal discusses a model based on the idea of screening particles. Starting from the Arrhenius equation and implying that the Arrhenius activation energy has a linear dependence on the concentration of screening charge carriers, the authors of Ref. 258 also obtained an expression that can lead to nonmonotonic relaxation kinetics under certain conditions. However, the experimental data discussed in that work does not show clear saddle-like behavior of relaxation time temperature dependence. The authors of Ref. 258 do not even discuss such a possibility. 

An impactor, illustrated in Fig. 29.6, resembles a heavy-duty hammer mill except that it contains no grate or screen. Particles are broken by impact alone, without the rubbing action characteristic of a hammer mill. Impactors are often primary-reduction machines for rock and ore, processing up to 600 ton/h. They give particles that are more nearly equidimensional (more cubical ) than the slab-shaped particles from a jaw crusher or gyratory crusher. The rotor in an impactor, as in many hammer mills, may be run in either direction to prolong the life of the hammers,... 

For the most part, the measured size of sieved (screened) particles will be based upon a spheroidal shape since this is easiest to calculate, i.e.- V = 4/3 7T r . In the case of measurement by volume, spherical shapes are the only way to specify the apparent size of the particle. Let us now examine how we can obtain a PSD using screens to separate particles into fractions.
