Abstract
A new method is proposed for determining the particle-size distribution based on the principle that the distribution of random cross-sectional areas of any body depends only on its shape. The method is applicable to both spherical and non-spherical particles, whereas all existing methods are applicable only to spherical particles. The proposed method is also very simple and less elaborate than most existing procedures.
