What Does SMD Stand For?
SMD stands for Sauter Mean Diameter
Sauter Mean Diameter (SMD) is a statistical measure used to characterize the average size of particles or droplets in a system, particularly in fields such as aerosol science, chemical engineering, and fluid mechanics. It is defined as the diameter of a sphere that has the same volume-to-surface area ratio as the particles being analyzed. SMD provides valuable insights into processes involving liquid dispersions and particulate systems, influencing phenomena such as reaction rates, mass transfer, and sedimentation.
