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.

What is the difference between apparent specific gravity and absolute specific gravity and bulk specific gravity?

Dry Bulk Specific Gravity does not take into account for anything getting into the permeable or impermeable voids of say a stone by water for instance. Saturated Surface Dry Bulk Specific Gravity takes into account for anything getting into the permeable voids only of say a stone by water. Apparent Specific gravity takes into account for the volume of the impermeable voids and not anything getting into the permeable voids of say a stone by water.

Difference between container terminal and dry bulk terminal?

A container terminal only handles cargo stowed in standard 20 ft or 40 ft long shipping containers. A dry bulk terminal handles products like iron ore, coal, grain, etc. in a loose or bulk form. Container terminals use very specialized equipment to load, discharge and store containers and dry bulk terminals have similar specialized equipment for dry bulk so you rarely see one terminal serving both types of cargo.

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
