As the catalyst will be used in fluidized bed reactors, it is necessary to determine its surface volume mean for further calculations. Using the cumulative volume distribution given, determine the (a) the harmonic mean of volume distribution, (b) the arithmetic mean of surface distribution, and (c) the surface volume mean. All values should be calculated using appropriate conversions from the cumulative volume distribution values given. An Excel spreadsheet should be used for the calculations.
