A mixture of solids consists of 3kg berl saddle, 1kg lessing ring (L = Do ; Di = 0.5Do), and 2kg raschig ring (L = 0.6Do ; Di = 0.4Do). The bulk density are 850, 800, and 720 in kg/m^3, respectively. The diameter of the solid materials (mm) are 12, 6, 8, respectively. These solid materials are combined in a tower with a 1 m^2 tray and a height of 0.50 m. Find the ff: a) Specific surface area (m^2/kg) b) No. of particles (total) in the tower
