Mechanical Operations MCQ’s – Particle Size
1 - Question
What is Φs?
a) Sphere
b) Cubicity
c) Sphericity
d) Void age
View Answer
Answer: c
Explanation: Φs is defined as the measure of the roundness of a sphere, it is also the ratio of the surface area of same volume particle and the surface area of particle
2 - Question
For a spherical particle of diameter Dp, Φs is ____
a) 0
b) 0.5
c) 1
d) 2
View Answer
Answer: c
Explanation: As the particle is totally spherical the Sphericity is always 1, for a sphere of diameter Dp, Φs = 1.
3 - Question
For any non-spherical particle, Sphericity is defined as _____
a) 6Vp/DpPs
b) 6Vp/PsSp
c) Vp/DpSp
d) 6Vp/DpSp
View Answer
Answer: d
Explanation: Sphericity for any non-spherical particle is defined as 6Vp/DpSp, where Dp is the diameter and Vp and Sp are volume and surface area respectively.
4 - Question
For a crushed material, Φs lies between _____
a) 0.6 to 0.8
b) 1 to 2
c) 1.2 to 1.8
d) 1.6 to 1.8
View Answer
Answer: a
Explanation: As per the empirical calculations and the final results obtained from various experimental values the Φs is calculated to be between 0.6 and 0.8.
5 - Question
For cubes and cylinders, what is Φs?
a) 0.65 and 0.50
b) 0.81 and 0.87
c) 0.660 and 0.556
d) 13.2 and 12.3
View Answer
Answer: b
Explanation: For cubes and cylinders for which the length L equals to the diameter, equivalent diameter is greater than L, Φs would be 0.81 and 0.87.

Which of the following gives the number of particles?
a) mVp/Pp
b) Dp/ Pp
c) m/PpVp
d) Mv/Dp
View Answer
Answer: c
Explanation: The total number of the particles is given by m/PpVp, where m is the total mass of the sample, Dp is the diameter and Vp is the volume of particle.
8 - Question
Which of the following gives the total surface area of the particle?
a) N*Sp
b) Vp*Sp
c) Sp/Dp
d) Sp/Vp
View Answer
Answer: a
Explanation: The total surface area of the particle is given by A = N*Sp, where N is the number of the particles and Sp is the surface area of individual particle.
