  1. A quasi steady-state model (QSM) for accurately predicting the detailed diffusion-dominated dissolution process of polydisperse spheroidal (prolate, oblate, and spherical) particle systems was presented Part I of this study. In the present paper, the dissolution characteristics of typical polydisperse spheroidal particle systems have been extensively investigated. The effects of the distributions of particle size and shape have been studied by examining the detailed dissolution processes, such as the size reduction rates of individual particles, the increase in bulk concentration, and the dissolution time of the polydisperse systems. Some important factors controlling the dissolution process, including initial particle concentration, smallest and largest particle sizes, and the smallest and largest Taylor shape parameters, have been identified.
