< Sphericity of Particles Calculators

Sphericity of Cuboidal Particle

Go Sphericity of Cuboidal Particle = ((((Length*Breadth*Height)*(0.75/pi))^(1/3)^2)*4*pi)/(2*(Length*Breadth+Breadth*Height+Height*Length))

Sphericity of Cylindrical Particle

Go Sphericity of Cylindrical Particle = (((((Cylinder Radius)^2*Cylinder Height*3/4)^(1/3))^2)*4*pi)/(2*pi*Cylinder Radius*(Cylinder Radius+Cylinder Height))

Sphericity of Particle

Go Sphericity of Particle = (6*Volume of One Spherical Particle)/(Surface Area of Particle*Equivalent Diameter)

Surface Shape Factor

Go Surface Shape Factor = 1/Sphericity of Particle

< Basic Formulas of Mechanical Operations Calculators

Energy Required to Crush Coarse Materials according to Bond's Law

Go Energy per Unit Mass of Feed = Work Index*((100/Product Diameter)^0.5-(100/Feed Diameter)^0.5)

Number of Particles

Go Number of Particles = Mixture Mass/(Density of One Particle*Volume of Spherical Particle)

Mass Mean Diameter

Go Mass Mean Diameter = (Mass Fraction*Size Of Particles Present In Fraction)

Sauter Mean Diameter

Go Sauter Mean Diameter = (6*Volume of Particle)/(Surface Area of Particle)

What is a Conveyor Belt?

A conveyor belt is the carrying medium of a belt conveyor system. A belt conveyor system is one of many types of conveyor systems. A belt conveyor system consists of two or more pulleys, with a closed loop of carrying medium—the conveyor belt—that rotates about them.

What is Gyratory Screen ?

Gyratory screen, used in mechanical screening and sieving is based on a circular motion of the machine. Unlike other methods, gyratory screen operates in a gentler manner and is more suited to handle fragile things, enabling it to produce finer products. This method is applicable for both wet and dry screening
