Question 2
Volume of cubes = 4 X 4 X 4 = 64 mm3
Surface area of cubes = 6 (4 X 4) = 96 mm2
Therefore
total volume of mixture = (40% x 64) + (60% x 33.5) = 45.7 mm3
total surface area of mixture = (40% x 96) + (60% x 50.27) = 68.56 mm2

First need to find the volume of single particle (for each size range) which based on
the shpericity = 1 is a sphere. Hence volume of single particle = D3 / 6
Then multiplying volume of single particle (column 8) with number of particle in each
range (column 6) results in the volume of total particle in each particle range.
Finally the total volume of particles in mixture = sum of particle volume in each size
range.

First need to find the surface area of single particle (for each size range) which based
on the shpericity=1 is a sphere. Hence surface area of single particle = D2
Then multiplying surface area of single particle (column 10) with number of particle in
each range (column 6) results in the surface area of total particle in each particle
range.
For example, total surface area S0.05 = (= 7.854 x 10-3)(658370.601) = 5170.843 mm2
Finally the total surface area of particles in mixture = sum of particle surface area in
each size range.
