Questions and Answers

Which property of product granules can be characterized by unconfined yield stress and angle of friction by shear cell tests?

  • True density
  • Agglomerate porosity
  • Bulk density (correct)
  • Apparent density
  • What method is commonly used to assess the tensile strength of agglomerates based on the text?

  • Compression strength assessment
  • Redispersion tests
  • Interparticle contact test
  • Crushing strength measurement (correct)
  • What does the Griffith crack theory state regarding brittle failure of a granule?

  • Only elastic materials are affected by crack growth
  • Cracks propagate when potential energy reduction equals surface energy increase (correct)
  • Failure depends solely on tensile strength of bonds
  • Crack propagation is independent of flaw distribution
