Abstract
A method is proposed to define and determine the equivalent packing diameter of a non-spherical particle based on the similarity between the packing systems of spherical and non-spherical particles. The equivalent packing diameter of a particle is empirically related to its sphericity and some commonly used equivalent spherical diameters such as volume, surface and surface volume diameters. The relationship between the porosity and sphericity of monosized particles is formulated using the data reported in the literature. The possible application of the present results to predicting the porosity of non-spherical particle mixtures is discussed.
