Grinding from the mathematical point of view
Grinding from the mathematical point of view
A rigorous mathematical description of grinding processes used in powder technologies is developed. A grinding equation, an operator equation, connecting the final particle size distribution function to the particle size distribution function before the grinding process is studied. The mathematical model introduced here can be used to predict the results of grinding, to construct grinding systems with desired properties, and to improve the particle size measurement.
