What effect does throughput have on d80?

Throughput refers to the rate at which material is processed or produced in a system. In the context of particle size distribution, d80 represents the particle size at which 80% of the sample's mass is finer. Higher throughput can lead to changes in the particle size distribution, potentially affecting the d80 value by increasing the likelihood of coarser particles being present in the output. This can result in a higher d80 if the processing conditions do not adequately reduce larger particles during high-throughput operations.
