In order to satisfy the plugging demands of injecting the cement plugging agent into reservoirs with different radial depths, the technical studies of cement particle size optimization should be conducted. Through indoor experiment, the relationship between cement particle size and permeability was investigated by both macroscopic and microcosmic analysis. It is observed that the reservoirs which permeabilities are within 50~200mD are matching well with the cement agents which particle sizes are less than 5μm. And the permeabilities within 200~400mD are matching well with the cement agents which particle sizes are within 5~10μm, the permeabilities within 400~700mD are matching well with the cement agents which particle sizes are within 10~20μm, the permeabilities are above 700mD are matching well with the cement agents which particle sizes are more than 20μm. The plugging success rates of all the matching experiments are exceeding 90%. This research result is important to direct the plugging operation in the field.

This study is on the production of quicklime from Ashaka limestone through calcination process. Effects of temperature, particle size and time on quicklime yield were determined. The experiment was carried out at temperatures of 800, 900, 1000, 1100 and 1200 0C, particle sizes of 80mm, 90mm, 100mm, 300mm and 425mm and times of 0.5hr, 1hr, 2hrs, 3hrs and 4hrs. Analyses of the results showed that quicklime was successfully produced from Ashaka limestone through the calcination process. Quadratic model adequately described the relationship between quicklime yield and calcination factors of temperature, particle size and time. Recorded model F-value of 134.35 implies that the model is significant. The predicted R² of 0.9597 is in reasonable agreement with the adjusted R² of 0.9844; the difference is less than the critical value of 0.2. Optimum yield of 73.48% was obtained at optima operating conditions; temperature of 1000 0C, particle size of 90 µm and time of 3 hrs.

Seed germination and dry-weight production in Lolium perenne were examined in relation to growth on 12-years-old colliery waste separated into seven size-fractions. The size-range was from more than 4,000 μ to less than 125 μ, and the growth period was up to 30 days. Germination percentages after 6 days generally increased with decreasing particle-size, as did dry-weight. Shoot : root ratios also showed an inverse relationship with particle size.After 30 days there was no distinction between dryweights on different particle sizes, except that on the largest fractions it had been found impossible to keep the plants alive. Problems of water-holding capacity are discussed, and the significance of soil particle-size in revegetation work is examined, it being concluded that an admixture of small particles is important for water retention and plant growth.

The relationship between the characteristics of a stream community and sediments were studied for 1 yr in a small unpolluted river with a morainal substrate. Recognizable faunal assemblages were associated with silt or silt fill, sand or sand fill, and large boulders. The fauna in sediments of mean particle sizes coarser than sand but finer than boulders was characterized by a high variability due largely to temporal successions of morphologically related species. It was found that the number of species was directly proportional to mean particle size (in [Formula: see text] units) in spring when the sediments were well sorted, but the relationship broke down as the sediment interstices filled in. In late fall when the sediments were badly sorted, the number of species is perhaps more related to the sorting coefficient of the sediments. The relevance of these findings to studies of pollution is discussed.

Simulating current sintering process in local brickkilns, Hengyang region, Hunan Province, China, at 800°C, througt indoor sintering experiment on a series of brick samples of purple sandy shale, in which particle sizes of limestone are >-1Φ, >0Φ, >1Φ, >2Φ, >3Φ and >4Φ, respectively, it is concluded that the following: (1) Limestone granularity is a crucial factor affecting the quality of sintering bricks of purple sandy shale. Under different particle sizes, the critical content of limestone causing lime brust of sintering bricks is distinct, and lowers with the increasing in limestone granularity. (2) When limestone granularity is different, its impact way on the quality of sintering bricks is also distinct. The more coarse limestone granularity is, the more concentrative the swelling stress produced by the hydration of free CaO is, the more easily lime brust occurs. On the contrary, the more fine limestone granularity is, the more dispersive the swelling stress is, there is the more help to reduce or eliminate the occurrence of lime brust. (3) In view of the relationship between limestone granularity and the critical content of limestone giving rise to lime brust of sintering bricks, the production practice can be effectively guided.

Experiments carried out on infants revealed that vitamin A, as it occurs naturally in milk, was more effectively absorbed than when administered in an oily vehicle, but not quite as well absorbed as when given in an "aqueous" preparation. The high degree of absorbability of vitamin A in milk is due to the relatively small particle size of the butter fat globule. By reducing the particle size of a fish liver oil preparation (oleum percomorphum) to 1 to 2 µ by homogenization into milk or water, the absorption of vitamin A was considerably enhanced in children and in rats. The relationship of the particle size of the vehicle of vitamin A to absorption is further demonstrated by the results of the administration in children and in rats of three vitamin A preparations of varying particle size. Thus, the highest absorption occurred following the administration of a preparation containing particle size of submicroscopic proportion ("aqueous"); the lowest absorption resulted following the preparation containing particles macroscopic in size (oil) and intermediate absorption was observed following the use of a preparation containing particle sizes varying from 1 to 20 µ (emulsion). Similarly, in a child having cystic fibrosis of the pancreas, the absorption of vitamin A was dependent upon the particle size of the vehicle employed.

The composite materials TiN/3Y-TZP, 3Y-TZP doped by TiN with different contents and particle sizes, were fabricated through the same hot-pressing techniques. Compared with 3Y-TZP, the low temperature degradation resistance of TiN/3Y-TZP aged at the temperature from 170°C to 350°C in air for 50 h was investigated in virtue of XRD and SEM in the experiment. For TiN/3Y-TZP and 3Y-TZP, the maximum aging rate all occurs at 220°C. The addition of TiN can availably improve the low temperature degradation resistance of 3Y-TZP at different aging temperatures, but cannot change the relationship between the aging rate and the aging temperature. For TiN/3Y-TZP, the matrix particle size is the key factor responsible for its low temperature degradation resistance.

Biofuel manufacturing consists of two major processes, i.e., feedstock preprocessing and bioconversion. The preprocessing includes size reduction and pelleting. The bioconversion includes pretreatment, hydrolysis, and fermentation. Various studies have been implemented for these two processes. Most existing literature focuses on a specific process, while very few of them consider the possible interactions between the two processes. In this paper, we investigated the relationship between the particle size in feedstock preprocessing and the sugar yield (proportional to biofuel yield) in bioconversion. The method of design of experiments was used to design experiments and analyze the experimental results of sugar yield with different particle sizes for three different types of biomass. Critical parameters that significantly influence the sugar yield were identified. The optimal configurations of the particle size were recommended.

In this paper, the relationship between additive particle size and properties of Ag-SnO2 contact materials was studied. La2O3 and Fe2O3 were selected as additives for contact materials, and the proportion of additives were determined by wettability experiment results; Ag-SnO2 contact materials were successfully fabricated by the powder metallurgy method, and the physical and electrical contact properties of Ag-SnO2 contact materials with five additive particle sizes were investigated. The results show the influence of additives on the properties of Ag-SnO2 contact materials are disparate, the contact resistance and arc energy are smaller and more stable when the additive particle size is about 500 nm. For further proving this conclusion, the arc-eroded surface morphologies of the doped AgSnO2 contact materials were investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), which indicated that the properties of two kinds of Ag-SnO2 contact materials could be improved significantly by selecting appropriate additive particle size.

The particle and void sizes distributions of the soil are related with the assumption that a voidconstant relationship at all di§erent scales and a relationship between pore and particle size ofa given packing. In the relationship between pore and particle sizes, a particle elongation factoris applied based on the Arya and Paris model. A áow trajectory tortuosity factor based on theFuentes model can also be applied. Since the void size distribution is associated to the soil waterretention curve, the proposed relationship can be used to estimate this curve from particle sizedistribution.
