Abstract
The Stokes shape factor and drag coefficient of non-spherical particles in
laminar regime have been investigated for specially prepared particles in d
ifferent shapes with a wide range of particle spherities from 0.2 to 1.0. B
ased on the experimental results, the relationship between the Stoke shape
factor and particle spherity has been correlated. The correlation of the St
oke shape factor with particle spherity is applied to determine particle sp
herity and the spherities of 10 kinds of agriculture particles in different
shapes are obtained. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science S.A. All rights reserved.
