Notes:
A new particle size distribution function based on a simple model is presented. Data generated by the normal, log-normal and Rosin-Rammler distribution functions were fitted with this new distribution function and the fitted curves were, for all practical purposes, indistinguishable from all three distributions.The new distribution function can replace all the three functions and thus a means of presenting and comparing the different size distribution patterns in terms of a single mathematical expression is obtained. Additionally, the new distribution function provides the possibility of developing the discussion on the physical meaning of the particle size distribution.
