Mechanical Operation: Particle Size

A particle can have any shape, which can be grouped into two regular shape like sphere, cubic, cylinder and irregular share like shape of stone or gravel. The size of any particle other than spherical is found based on some characteristic property like
Surface area: reaction in packed bed
Surface area per unit volume i.e. Sauter Diameter: Fluidization, Filteration
Volume: settling  of particle,
The effective diameter of a mixture of different size particles is calculated depending on different apllications.
