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.

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 are the differences between soil bulk density and particle density?

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).


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 are type of foods that have significant and application of solid density bulk density and porosity?

Foods with significant solid density include nuts, seeds, grains, and dried fruits. For bulk density, examples include grains, legumes, rice, and sugar. Foods with significant porosity include bread, cakes, sponges, and foam candies.


Does the soil porosity increase as the depth increases?

Bulk density generally increases with soil depth due to increasing pressure from the soil column above. Porosity is inversely related to bulk density, thus porosity should decrease as soil depth increases.


Is bulk density influence soil texture?

Bulk density does not directly influence soil texture. Soil texture is determined by the relative proportions of sand, silt, and clay particles in the soil, while bulk density is a measure of soil compaction or how tightly packed the soil is. However, high bulk density can affect soil structure and porosity, which in turn can impact the ability of soil particles to interact and influence soil texture indirectly.


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.

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.


.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 bulk modulus of shale?

The bulk modulus of shale typically ranges from 15 to 30 GPa, depending on factors such as composition and porosity.


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.
