Breakage of Sugar Crystals on Impact
Swindells, R.J. and White, E.T. 1980. Breakage increased with increasing velocity and increasing crystal size. Surprisingly, raw and refined sugars showed differing results. Changes in impact angle gave unexpected results. Coating the impact surface with rubber reduced the amount of breakage. A liquid surface gave far less breakage and this was not greatly affected by the viscosity of the liquid or the thickness of the liquid layer. Breakage of Sugar Crystals on Impact.
