Abstract
SIZE distribution, cannot alone describe a particle population, and for some purposes it becomes necessary to measure the particle shape within closely sized ranges. Some instances of the use of shape factors are in estimating approximate surface areas, calculating the number of particles in a size range and investigating the variation of particle shape with size. Since these applications are not confined to one field or industry, interest in shape factor is widespread.
