Particle Calculations for Ceramists

This book was written to aid all ceramists to perform fundamental particle calculations. Discussions and sample calculations cover, for example, particle surface areas and volumes, slip densities and solids contents, particle size distributions, bulk volume and density, comparing and combining particle size distributions, and particle packing. The various particle size distribution presentation forms, i.e. linear, semi-log, and log-log charts, as well as histograms and cumulative distribution plots, are presented and discussed. Brief explanations accompanying each topic precede the many sample calculations. This book should be a handy reference for ceramic technicians, engineers, scientists, artists, and anyone else involved in the exciting field of fine particle processing and control.
