Six different particle size distribution (Gates–Gaudin–Schuhmann (GGS), Rosin–Rammler (RR), Lognormal, Normal, Gamma, and Swebrec) models were compared under metallurgical coke grinding conditions (ball time). Adjusted R2, Akaike information criterion (AIC), the root mean of square error (RMSE) employed as comparison criteria. Swebrec RR presented superior criteria with higher goodness-of-fit l...

Particle size distribution (PSD) is one of the critical attributes crystals. PSD not only influences downstream processes but also controls final product performance in crystallization. In this work, we have used model system methanol–water-paracetamol for carrying out anti-solvent crystallization to produce paracetamol With reference a base case stirred tank, three devices connected tank with ...

The packing of uniform fine spherical particles ranging from 1 to 1000 microm has been simulated by means of discrete particle simulation. The packing structure is analyzed, facilitated by the well established Voronoi tessellation. The topological and metric properties of Voronoi polyhedra are quantified as a function of particle size and packing density. The results show that as particle size ...

In this study, Al/Al2O3 composites with two different particle sizes of 1 µm and 0.3 µm were produced via accumulative roll bonding (ARB). The microstructure evolution, mechanical properties and fracture behavior of the composites were investigated. Results show that higher ARB cycles are required to achieve a uniform distribution of particles in the composite with 0.3 µm particle size. During ...

Duodenal samples from three lactating cows were used to measure the particle size distribution by wet sieving and by laser diffraction (LD). The median particle size was calculated in the size range where the methods overlapped, and the median particle size was not different between the methods (P = 0.98). The particle size data were also fitted to a log normal distribution function. The logari...

due to the positive effects of fiber on human health, production and distribution of high fiber containing foods is on the increase. amongst different foods, bread is a suitable option to convey fiber in human diets. flat breads which are very common in asian countries, are mainly produced from white flour and hence are low in fiber. the main objectives followed in this study were to produce hi...

Thanks to their outstanding advantages, nanostructured lipid carriers (NLCs) have recognized in various fields these days. One way to discover extra useful products against typical bacteria (e.g., Staphylococcus epidermidis) is NLCs loaded with essential oils. This paper aims to provide NLCs to encapsulate MA oil and characterize and survey the obtained MA...

INTRODUCTION Particle size and distribution can influence the properties of materials. This study analyzed and compared the particle size of Root MTA, calcium hydroxide (CH), and a new endodontic cement called calcium enriched material (CEM). MATERIALS AND METHODS The particle size of each material was analyzed three times using 0.05 mg of test material with a particle size analyzer. The part...
