In fluid dynamics, Sauter mean diameter (SMD) is an average measure of particle size. It was originally developed by German scientist Josef Sauter in the late 1920s. [1] [2] It is defined as the diameter of a sphere that has the same volume/surface area ratio as a particle of interest. Several methods have been devised to obtain a good estimate ...
The drop size is the size of the spray drops that make up the nozzle's spray pattern. [7] The spray drops within a given spray are not all the same size. There are several ways to describe the drop sizes within a spray: • Sauter Mean Diameter (SMD) or D32 Fineness of spray expressed in terms of surface area produced by the spray.
The Scherrer equation, in X-ray diffraction and crystallography, is a formula that relates the size of sub-micrometre crystallites in a solid to the broadening of a peak in a diffraction pattern. It is often referred to, incorrectly, as a formula for particle size measurement or analysis. It is named after Paul Scherrer.
In granulometry, the particle-size distribution (PSD) of a powder, or granular material, or particles dispersed in fluid, is a list of values or a mathematical function that defines the relative amount, typically by mass, of particles present according to size. [1]
Example showing the difference between D 50 and the De Brouckere Mean on a typical volume-weighted particle size distribution. The De Brouckere mean diameter is the mean of a particle size distribution weighted by the volume (also called volume-weighted mean diameter, volume moment mean diameter. [1] or volume-weighted mean size [2]). It is the ...
The Summary. A report from the U.S. surgeon general suggested that labels on alcoholic drinks should warn about cancer risk. Doctors expressed their agreement.
2025 brings buzzy new titles. Here are the books we're most excited about, including "Onyx Storm" by Rebecca Yarros and nonfiction from John Green.
Drilling Formula Sheets is a set of Drilling Formulas used commonly by drilling engineers in the onshore and offshore oil drilling industry. They are used as part of a key piece of engineering work called Well Control .
