How to Calculate and Solve for Spreading Coefficient | Mineral Processing
Last Updated on December 7, 2021
The image above represents spreading coefficient.
To compute for spreading coefficient, two essential parameters are needed and these parameters are Work of Adhesion per Unit Area (WAB) and Work of Cohesion per Unit Area (W).
The formula for calculating spreading coefficient:
S = WAB – W
Where:
S = Spreading Coefficient
WAB = Work of Adhesion per Unit Area
W = Work of Cohesion per Unit Area
Let’s solve an example;
Find the spreading coefficient when the work of adhesion per unit area is 12 and the work of cohesion per unit area is 6.
This implies that;
WAB = Work of Adhesion per Unit Area = 12
W = Work of Cohesion per Unit Area = 6
S = WAB – W
S = 12 – 6
S = 6
Therefore, the spreading coefficient is 6.
