In this work only composite particles up to N = 4 are discussed, where N is number of spherical grains in a composite particle, and the forms are limited to the two-dimensional cases only. There is only one structure of composite particle for each value of N for 1 < N = 2. For N = 3 there are five structures and for N = 4 there are fifteen structures. Between spherical grains from different composite particles only two types of force are considered. The first is a long-range attractive force in the form of gravitation force and the last is a short-range repulsion force in the form of normal force. The first type of force will help the aggregation process, while the second will prevent two spherical grains to collapse into a single grain due to the first. It is observed that the time required to produce the compact aggregate or T is dependent on N, where larger N makes larger T.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=".vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}"][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title="Author keywords" size="size-sm" text_align="text-left"][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=".vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}"][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title="Indexed keywords" size="size-sm" text_align="text-left"][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=".vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}"][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title="Funding details" size="size-sm" text_align="text-left"][vc_column_text]The authors would like to thank the committee of the 2nd International Conference and Exhibition on Powder Technology Indonesia (ICePTi 2019) for the opportunity as an invited speaker.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=".vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}"][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title="DOI" size="size-sm" text_align="text-left"][vc_column_text]https://doi.org/10.1063/5.0003475[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_column_text]Widget Plumx[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
