Context & Assumptions

The Gaudin-Schuhmann (G-S) distribution is a power-law model used in process engineering to describe particle size distributions. It helps quantify how materials break in comminution and classification circuits. This model is particularly useful for rapid field assessments as its two parameters can be calibrated from just two sieve data points.
