Abstract
The concept of fibre crowding was developed to account for the distribution of fiber lengths. The expressions for the probability density function, mean and variance of crowding number for fiber suspensions with lognormal fiberlength distribution were derived. The theory allows calculation of fiber fraction in comparison to the crowding number and determination of fraction of suspension which is flocculated.
