Cement Kilns: Size Reduction and Grinding
Specific surface is a measure of the total surface area of the particles in a given mass of cement: SI unit m 2 /kg. Assuming spherical particles of cement, the mass of a particle of diameter D m is M = 3150 #215; D3 /6 #215; 10 18 kg (for particle density 3150 kg/m 3 ), and the surface area is A = D2 #215; 10 12 m 2.
