elphick.mass_composition.utils.size_distribution.lynch(d=array([53.8, 38.1, 26.7, 18.8, 13.3]), d50=10.0, m=1.42)[source]

The Lynch equation

The Lynch equation used to determine the size distribution is as follows:

mp = 100 - (100 * (d/k)**m)

where: mp = mass fraction passing (%) d50 = size at which 50% of particles retained by mass m = sharpness constant

Returns:
