POROSITY
V void
Vbulk - Vtrue
ANGLE OF REPOSE (θ)
tan‾¹ (h/r)
h - height of the pile
r - radius of the pile
DETERMINATION OF BULK DENSITY
bulk density
ρbulk
g sample / mL untapped
DETERMINATION OF TAPPED DENSITY
tapped density
ρtapped
g sample / mL tapped
COMPRESSIBILITY (CARR’S) INDEX
C.I. =
ρ tapped - ρ bulk / ρ tapped x 100
