Self similarity behavior experimental evidence

Kapur (1972) has presented evidence of self-similar behavior of comminuted solids from experimental data. The model formulation is precisely as elaborated previously. The similarity variable was chosen to be 80% fines which corresponds to = 0.8. His results show that self-similarity is preserved over a notably long period of time. In an interesting earlier communication, Kapur (1970) also shows that such self-similar behavior leads to the well-known laws of grinding due to Rittinger and Bond (Orr, 1966) by attributing different values to the exponent a.
