Abstract

The packing of narrow fractions of irregular particles to a given density has been studied theoretically and experimentally. The equations given in Furnas' classical investigation have been altered to give more commonly valid expressions. It has also been found necessary to propose a new model, which better meets the experimental demands. An example is given of how to solve a multicomponent system by using this model.
