Size Reduction and Material Handling

Subtopic: Particle size analysis for comminuted solids

Question Statement:

In a sieve analysis test on ground feed according to ASAE standards, the Fineness Modulus ($FM$) was determined to be $3.00$. Calculate the average particle diameter in $\text{mm}$ using the standard relation $D = 0.135 \times (1.366)^{FM}$.

Answer Key:

0.344

Step-by-Step Solution & Explanation

$D = 0.135 \times (1.366)^3$ $(1.366)^3 = 2.5489$ $D = 0.135 \times 2.5489 \approx 0.3441\text{ mm}$
