Individual solid particles are characterised by their size‚ shape‚ and density. 1.1 Particle shape The shape of an individual particle is expressed in terms of the sphericity F s‚ which is independent of particle size. The sphericity of a particle is the ratio of the surface-volume ratio of a sphere with equal volume as the particle and the surface-volume ratio of the particle. For a spherical particle of diameter D p‚ F s =1; for a non-spherical particle‚ the sphericity is defined as Dp:
