ABSTRACT HOLMES'S equation1 rewritten in terms of specific surface area, _S_, can be derived from the differential equation: where _E_ is energy input per unit volume and _r_ is
Kick's law deviation exponent1. Equation (1) reduces to Kick's equation2 when _r_ = 0, Bond's third theory3 when _r_ = ½ and Rittinger's equation4 when _r_ = 1. These
equations suggest that material of unlimited fineness can be produced by milling. Access through your institution Buy or subscribe This is a preview of subscription content, access via your
