The relationship between density and porosity is an indirect proportionality.That is, the higher the density of a rock, the lower will be the porosity of that rock.In a more explicit way, the weight of over-lying rocks increase the density of the rock beneath, which in turn decreases the amount of pore spaces (porosity) of the rock through processes such as compaction, cementation, etc. Posted by Nwigwudu Ikechukwu.
Porosity is measured by taking a sample of the soil. The sample is then tested to measure the speed of water passing through the soil.
A volume fraction of a material that is empty, or without material.
Gravity is a force
The unit weight of submerged soil: Submerged Density (kN/m3) = Saturated Density - Water Density Water Density = 9.81 kN/m3
no
If you were to graph particle size and porosity, it would be a constant slope (horizontal line).Porosity is not affected by particle size.
Bulk density and porosity have an inverse relationship. As bulk density increases, porosity decreases and vice versa. Bulk density is a measure of the mass of soil per unit volume, while porosity is a measure of the void spaces within the soil.
Increasing density decreases porosity, as the material becomes more compact and there is less space between particles for fluids to flow through. Conversely, decreasing density increases porosity, allowing for more pore space within the material.
Osteoporosis
Density, porosity, fracture, mineralogy, hardness, and texture.
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.
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.
The two factors that determine the porosity of a material are the size and distribution of the pores within the material. Larger pores and a more interconnected network of pores typically result in higher porosity. Additionally, the material's density and composition also play a role in determining its overall porosity.
Density = Mass/Volume or mass/size.
Pitch stone typically has a density around 2.3 - 2.8 g/cm³, depending on the specific composition and porosity of the sample.
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
No . Mass
