Size-frequency distribution

Thru a combination of sedimentation and transmission measurements, a particle size distribution can be found. Tranquil settling of a dispersion of non-uniform particles will result in a separation of particles according to size so that transmission measurements at known distances below the surface at selected time intervals, will, with Stokes law, give the concn of particles of known diameter. Thus, a size frequency distribution can be obtained... [Pg.522]

One other parameter regarding size-distribution may be mentioned, namely the mode, or the value of d for which the size-frequency curve is a maximum. For example, in Figure 8, this value occurs for d = 17.5. If the distribution were symmetrical, that is, if the frequencies were evenly distributed about a line passing vertically through the mode (see Figure 9), the mode, mean, and median of the size-frequency distribution would be the same. If the distribution were moderately asymmetrical or skewed, then the relation between these averages would be given by the equation (see Yule, 1927)... [Pg.54]

Other Size-Frequency Distributions—Since it is conceivable that there is a smallest particle below which no other particles are found, and also a largest particle above which no larger particles are found, the size-distribution curve is limited at two extremes. It is probable that a most general type of particle-distribution occurring in nature is a... [Pg.54]

The values of ag and 0/ are the same, that is, the geometric standard deviations by count and weight are equal. This is easily proved by substitution of Eq (5-8) and the value of n given by the size-frequency distribution by count in Eq (5-2). Hence,... [Pg.116]

Hatch extended his method of analysis to size-distribution curves ranging from coarse-screen analysis through fine particles measured microscopically. While excellent results were obtained by using this technique on laboratory samples, the method cannot be generalized to cover all types of distributions encountered in practice. As already explained in Chapter 3, size-frequency distributions may assume a variety of shapes. The Hatch development applies only to distributions which follow the normal or log-probability law. When size-distributions are hyperbolic in the lower extremes and follow normal log-probability laws in the upper extremes, the Hatch analysis must necessarily fail. Nevertheless, the relationships developed by Hatch have a far-reaching practical importance... [Pg.118]

Weber and Moran Method of Calibration—Another method of calibrating sieves consists in measuring random openings in the sieve and obtaining size-frequency distributions as qutlined in Chapter 3. The openings are measured by filar micrometer or by projection methods. Two screens are then identical if the mean size of the openings and the standard deviations are the same. Weber and Moran (1938) use the coefficient of variation... [Pg.118]

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... [Pg.472]

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. [Pg.556]

Figure 9.10 gives an example of a size frequency distribution of considerable width. It would be a reasonable example for a homogenized emulsion, assuming the d scale to be in 10 7m. It is seen that the number frequency can give a quite misleading picture more than half of the volume of the particles is not even shown in the number distribution. We will use this figure to illustrate some characteristic numbers. [Pg.323]

Compared to the extensive data describing the ocean particulate (10, 11), size distribution data on particulates in fresh water systems and wastewaters are relatively scarce. Particle size distribution data for several low ionic strength solutions are shown in Figure 1 with the water source, particulate counting method, and references as noted. The size frequency distribution of the four heterogeneous suspensions shown can be modeled by a two-parameter power-law distribution function (2) given by the expression... [Pg.309]
