On the surface, this sounds very much like a problem in the random close packing of granular materials or something like that. Just dumping the stuff in a container, assuming the fuel pellets are pretty much all the same size and don't stick to one another, your density will fall at about 0.61 to 0.62 of the density of the material itself. With a bit of "shaking" to repack the stuff, you may get an increase up to 0.64 to 0.66 or so of the density of the fuel itself (provided you don't have much "breakage" of the pellets). A lot will depend on the uniformity in size of the pellets, the shape of the pellets, the cohesion of the pellets and a few other factors. The "ceiling" for closest packing of small uniform spheres that don't break is something on the order of 63.5% of the volume available for packing them. (That means you "waste" about 36.5% of the space 'cause you can't fill it.) Statistical analysis has been at this one for some time, and it's still a rich area for debate.

How can we calculate the density of a irregular solid or a liquid?
You can dip the irregular solid in a water or other suitable liquid. This is how, you can measure the volume of the solid. The mass can be measured by weighing scale. Mass/volume = density. It is easy to measure the mass and volume of the liquid. First measure the mass the container. Then add the liquid to it. You will get the mass of the liquid. Then measure the volume of the liquid. Use the above formula to calculate the density of the liquid.
Density of gypsum kg per cubicmeter?
Solid gypsum density is 2312 to 2322 kg/cubic meter or 2.312 to 2.322 g/cc. These are "as measured" values indicating some variation in the gypsum crystals. By the molecular formula, calcium sulfate with two water molecules should weigh 2.308 gm/cc. If not solid, then broken gypsum density ranges from 1290 to 1600 kg/m3.
How can you change the density of solid rock?
Melting the rock to its liquid form then re-freezing it into a solid will realign the rock's crystaline structure thereby altering the density.
If the mass of a box is 12 grams its volume is 10 cm squared what is the density?
The density of the solid is about 0.86 g/cm3
What determines if matter will be suspended in the middle of water?
The density of the solid.
Measurnment of volume of the solid?
Measurement of the volume of solids depends on its density and mass.
What is the formula for the density of a solid object?
The formula for the density of a solid object is density (ρ) = mass (m) / volume (V). It is typically expressed in units such as grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm^3) or kilograms per cubic meter (kg/m^3).
Minerals are classified by-?
Minerals are substances that naturally occur. This is solid that has a chemical formula.
What solid has a density of about 10.17952941?
I think there is not enough information to solve this question, but these formula's might be helpful: density = mass / volume volume = mass / density mass = volume * density
What is the formula to calculate weight of solid shaft?
The formula to calculate the weight of a solid shaft is weight = volume × density × acceleration due to gravity. The volume of a solid shaft is calculated as π/4 × (diameter)^2 × length, where the density of the material and acceleration due to gravity are constants.
What is the difference in finding the density of a rectangular solid object and the density of an irregular solid object?
In finding the density of a rectangular solid object, you can simply calculate it by dividing the mass by the volume using the formula density = mass/volume. However, for an irregular solid object, you may need to use techniques like displacement method or water displacement method to determine its volume before calculating the density.
How do you calculate density of irregular shape solid lighter than water?
To find the density of an irregular shape solid lighter than water, you can use the following steps: Weigh the solid in air to determine its mass (m). Weigh the solid while it is fully submerged in water to determine its apparent mass (m'). Calculate the density using the formula: Density = (m / (m - m')) * density of water.
What is the density of a unknown solid if it has a volume of 20 cm3 and a mass of 190 g?
The density of the unknown solid can be calculated using the formula: density = mass / volume. Substituting the values, we get density = 190 g / 20 cm3 = 9.5 g/cm3. Therefore, the density of the unknown solid is 9.5 g/cm3.
How do you find the density of a solid object?
To find the density of a solid object, you need to divide the object's mass by its volume. The formula for density is: Density Mass / Volume. This calculation will give you the amount of mass in a given volume of the object, which is a measure of how tightly packed the particles are within the object.
How do you find the density of a solid if a sample weighing 55.234grams raises the water level in a graduate from 18.6mL to 25.7mL?
To find the density of the solid, you can use the formula: density = mass/volume. In this case, the mass of the solid is 55.234 grams and the volume displaced is the difference in the water levels, which is 25.7mL - 18.6mL = 7.1mL. Therefore, the density of the solid is 55.234g / 7.1mL = 7.78 g/mL.
How do you find the density of a irregular soluble solid?
To find the density of an irregular soluble solid, measure its mass using a balance and its volume by displacement in water. Calculate the density by dividing the mass by the volume. Make sure to account for any soluble components that may affect the volume measurement.
If an unknown solid weighs 84.0 g and occupies 27.9 cm of space what is the density?
To find the density of the unknown solid, you can use the formula: density = mass/volume. Given that the mass is 84.0 g and the volume is 27.9 cm³, the density would be calculated as follows: density = 84.0 g / 27.9 cm³ = approximately 3.01 g/cm³. Thus, the density of the solid is about 3.01 g/cm³.
