摘要: Abstract A number of writers have observed that the particle size distributions obtained from some breakage processes appear to be logarithmico-normal. There been virtually no attempts explain this phenomenon. In paper a statistical model is constructed for mechanism which will generate are asymptotically model, Fn(x), distribution function sizes, after n steps process, product (n + 1) independent random variables and hence, by central limit theorem,
