Particle shape
The shape of an individual particle is expressed in terms
of the sphericity Φs
the sphericity Φs is independent of particle size.
For a spherical particle of diameter Dp Φs=1 2
For a nonspherical particle, the sphericity is defined as

For the 4/6-mesh increment Dpi is the arithmetic mean of the mesh
openings of the defining screens; or, from Table 28.1,
( 4.699+ 3.327)/2 = 4.013 mm. For this increment xi =0.025 ;
3
Hence Xi / D pi = 0.0063 and Xi / D pi = 0.0004
calculate for the other 11 increments and summed to give 13

Xi / D pi = 0.8284, Xi / D pi =8.8296
Since the pan fraction is excluded. The specific surface and number
of particles per unit mass of particles 200-mesh or larger are found
by dividing the results from Eqs. (28.4) and (28.11) by 1- x1 (i=1 for
pan), or 1-0.0075 = 0.9925. Then

The flow resistances increases with time as the filter medium
becomes clogged or a filter cake builds up. ( either the flow
rate ↓ or the pressure drop ↑).
