Q1: For spheres, volume shape factor is given by

A π(=A/D2)

B 2π(=2A/D2)

C π/6(=V/D3)

D AD/V

ANS:C - π/6(=V/D3)

For spheres, the volume shape factor is given by π6(Dd)3\frac{\pi}{6} \left( \frac{D}{d} \right)^36π​(dD​)3, where DDD is the diameter of the sphere and ddd is the diameter of the particle.

Explanation:

  • Volume Shape Factor: This factor is used to relate the volume of an irregularly shaped particle to that of a sphere of equivalent volume. For spheres, this factor simplifies to π6(Dd)3\frac{\pi}{6} \left( \frac{D}{d} \right)^36π​(dD​)3.
  • Key Points:
    • DDD: Diameter of the sphere.
    • ddd: Diameter of the irregularly shaped particle.
    • Dd\frac{D}{d}dD​: Ratio of the sphere diameter to the particle diameter.
    • π6(Dd)3\frac{\pi}{6} \left( \frac{D}{d} \right)^36π​(dD​)3: Represents the factor by which the volume of the irregular particle needs to be adjusted to match the volume of a sphere of diameter DDD.
  • Options Analysis:
    • π(AD2)\pi \left( \frac{A}{D^2} \right)π(D2A​): Not directly related to spheres or volume shape factor.
    • 2π(2AD2)2\pi \left( \frac{2A}{D^2} \right)2π(D22A​): Similar to the above, not applicable for spheres.
    • π6(VD3)\frac{\pi}{6} \left( \frac{V}{D^3} \right)6π​(D3V​): Incorrect representation of volume shape factor for spheres.
    • ADV\frac{AD}{V}VAD​: Incorrect formulation for volume shape factor.
Therefore, for spheres, the correct volume shape factor is π6(Dd)3\frac{\pi}{6} \left( \frac{D}{d} \right)^36π​(dD​)3, where DDD is the diameter of the sphere and ddd is the diameter of the irregularly shaped particle being compared.
