If dp is the equivalent diameter of a non-spherical particle, Vp its volume and sp its surface area, then its sphericity is φs is defined by________________?

Correct answer: A. φs = 6 Vp/dpsp

  • A. φs = 6 Vp/dpsp
  • B. φs = Vp/dpsp
  • C. φs = 6 dpSp/Vp
  • D. φs = dpSp/Vp

Explanation

Sphericity compares the surface area of a volume-equivalent sphere, πd_p², with the actual particle area S_p. Since V_p = πd_p³/6, this gives φ_s = 6V_p/(d_pS_p).
