Bulk density is the dry mass of the solids (M sub t) / total volume (V sub t)
Particle density is bulk density (P sub b) / 1 minus total porosity (1-theta).

What are the differences between a bulk carrier and a tanker ship in construction?
1.in piping arrangement.
What is relationship between dry density and moisture contents?
Dry density (DD) is related to the moisture content (MC) using the following: DD = DB / (1+MC) Where DB is the bulk density of the material.
What is the bulk density of wet concrete?
This is the mass of aggregate that would fill a container of 1m3 capacity.
What is the Bulk Density of crushed concrete?
The density of crushed concrete varies depending on the gradation and quantity of impurities (e.g. asphalt and other) but can be estimated at 1900-1950 kg/m^3.
Formula for bulk modulus of volume of elasticity?
K(bulk modulus of elasticity)=-{[Pressure x volume]/change in volume}
What is the relationship between porosity bulk density and particle density?
If you were to graph particle size and porosity, it would be a constant slope (horizontal line).Porosity is not affected by particle size.
What is the relationship between bulk density and porosity?
A value for porosity can alternatively be calculated from the bulk density ρbulk and particle density ρparticle: Normal particle density is assumed to be approximately 2.65 g/cm3, although a better estimation can be obtained by examining the lithology of the particles.
Maximum bulk density can be occur?
bulk density depend on that material from which soil formed. so maximum bulk density depend on particle density of that mineral. Therefore,we can only tapped the soil upto perticle density. so maximum bulk density may be occur at equal to paricle density.

Loose bulk density?
Bulk density is a major physical property in designing the logistic system for biomass handling. The size, shape, moisture content, individual particle density, and surface characteristics are few factors affecting the bulk density. This research investigates the effects of true particle lengths ranging from 6 to 50 mm and moisture contents ranging from 8% to 60% wet basis (wb) on the bulk density of wheat straw and switchgrass. Three types of particle densities of straw and switchgrass measured were: a hollow particle density assuming a hollow cylindrical geometry, a solid particle density assuming a solid cylindrical geometry, and a particle density measured using a gas pycnometer at a gas pressure of 40 kPa. The bulk density of both loose-fill and packed-fill biomass samples was examined. The calculated wet and dry bulk density ranged from 24 to 111 kg m-3 for straw and from 49 to 266 kg m-3 for switchgrass. The corresponding tapped bulk density ranged from 34 to 130 kg m-3 for straw and 68 to 323 kg m-3 for switchgrass. The increase in bulk density due to tapping the container was from 10% for short 6-mm particles to more than 50% for long 50-mm particles. An equation relating the bulk density of stems as a function of moisture content, dry bulk density, and particle size was developed. After the validation of this bulk density equation, the relationship would be highly useful in designing the logistics system for large-scale transport of biomass to a biorefinery. The bulk density and particle density data of uniform particles would be important, if straw and switchgrass is used for pulping and paper making.
How do you find porosity of a soil when all you are given is the dry density and the particle density of the soil.. and can you find bulk density with just this info?
Concerning the second Question: "Can you find bulk density with just this info?"Purely on mathematical insight and analysis:Yes, you should be able to find the bulk density of dry soil, given the 'dry overall' and the 'particle' densities.When wet, there is not enough 'given'Also some should be known about the (or your) definition of porosity
What is bunk density?
You're almost certainly asking about bulk density. I hear it mispronounced as "bunk" density daily. Bulk density is how much mass of a substance will fit into a given volume without any packing. It tells you about the particle density and also the packing order.
.what is the loose bulk density of iron ore?
The solid density of iron ore generally lies between 3.35 and 5.6 tonnes per cubic metre, depending on the particular characteristics of the ore being considered. When the ore is broken up, air spaces are formed between the particles of ore, and the "apparent" density will be lower. The loose bulk density is one measure, the compacted bulk density is another, and the fluidised bulk density is yet another. The loose bulk density is measured on a sample of loose ore, that has not been allowed to self-compact over time, and has not been mechanically compacted. It will generally measure between 50% and 60% of the value of the solid density.
What is the differences between a bulk chemical and a fine chemical?
bulk chemicals are made in bigger batches than fine chemicals.
How do you calculate volume if given bulk density?
Bulk density = dry weight / volume, then by knowing the dry weight and bulk density we can calculate the volume.
How can you demonstrate ther is space between molecules of water?
Calculate volume of molecule, calculate mass of molecule, compare to bulk density. Lower bulk density indicates empty space.
