Size and shape characterization of conventionally and cryogenically ground turmeric (Curcuma domestica) particles

Size and Shape of Ammonium Perchlorate and their Influence on Properties of Composite Propellant

“…There exist shape parameters [15][16][17] like roundness, chunkiness, irregularity, compactness, statistical shape indices, fourier coefficients, fractal dimensions, aspect ratio, etc. However, the most important shape parameter is shape factor obtained by digital dynamic shape analyzer, which is based on image analysis technique.…”

Characterization of packed beds of plant materials processed by supercritical fluid extraction

“…This distribution function was developed for broken coal (Rosin and Rammler, 1933;Bennett, 1936) and has been applied to many other materials (Scanlon and Lamb, 1993;Perfect et al, 1998;Manohar and Sridhar, 2001) since than. The percentage by mass of particles greater than screen size d is given as:…”

Influence of water content and negative temperatures on the mechanical properties of wheat bran and its constitutive layers

“…cryogenic grinding) is used to increase the brittleness of the materials, to produce fine particles. It has been reported to improve the fractionation of various materials (Bastin and Simon, 2008;Goswami and Singh, 2003;Manohar and Sridhar, 2001) and of wheat bran in particular (Hemery et al, 2007). Cryogenic grinding is also said to limit the reagglomeration of particles and the destruction of thermosensitive compounds.…”
