For raschig rings, the sphericity is_____________________?

Correct answer: B. < 1

  • A. 0.5
  • B. < 1
  • C. 1
  • D. √3

Explanation

Sphericity equals the surface area of an equal-volume sphere divided by the actual particle surface area, and it is 1 only for a sphere. A Raschig ring is non-spherical, so its sphericity is less than 1.
