Help - in search of formulae to calculate the surface area and volume of a
torus
and if possible a way of determining optimum relationship between volume
and surface area

i.e. min surface for max vol

any help gratefully received

Suppose that the torus is generated by rotating a circle of radius r and
center Q around an axis belonging to its plane at a distance R>=r of Q.
Then the volume and area are given by

V = 2*Pi^2*R*r^2 A = 4*Pi^2*R*r

If the volume V is given then the area may be arbitrarily large: just
take r small and R = V/(2*Pi^2*r^2). The minimum area is obtained when
R = r = cube root of V/(2*Pi^2).

Gold APP Instruments Corporation China is specialized in laboratory, research and analytical instruments making.

Our analyzers cover F-Sorb X400CE series based on flow nitrogen adsorption and V-Sorb X800 series rely on static volumetric principle for surface area and pore size analysis. Further, a high pressure volumetric gas sorption H-Sorb 2600 and the revolutionary gas Pycnometer true density analyzer G-DenPyc 2900 left other components far behind.

Dealers, distributors, agents, wholesalers are recruiting currently. If you interest pls let us know.
