Abstract
The spacing equations of Powers, Philleo, and Pleau and Pigeon are used to estimate the uniform thickness of paste surrounding entrained air voids that is required to encompass 95 % of the air-paste system. Spacing equation accuracy is determined by comparison to the numerically exact result of Lu and Torquato. The air void system is approximated by spheres with radii from a lognormal distribution. For the systems studied here, both the Philleo and the Pleau and Pigeon equations are accurate to within approximately 10 %. The Powers spacing factor can be used to estimate the same quantity to within a factor of two, and could be made far more accurate by adjusting the result using the variance in the air void radius distribution.Proceedings Title
