A sample from this course

One topic, as StudyPath teaches it.

Particle size and shape

Particle size and shape are fundamental descriptors that influence the physical and chemical behaviour of solids in unit operations. Mastering the definitions of size, shape, and the methods of measurement (e.g., sieving, laser diffraction, microscopy) is essential for predicting flow, mixing, reaction rates and separation efficiency in processes such as drying, milling, and filtration.
