What is particle density ?
For non-porous
particles
Particle density is the ratio of mass of
particle and the volume of the particle.

For porous particles
Particle densityorTrue densityof
aparticulate solidorpowder, is the density
of the particles that make up the powder.

Hydrodynamic volume is the volume ’seen‘
by the fluid in its fluid dynamic interaction
with the particle and includes the volume of
all the open and closed pores
Particle density is the ratio of mass of
particle and the hydrodynamic volume of
the particle

What is it’s significance ?
1.Used in modelling of solid friction factor
2.Causes increase in pressure difference in
fluidized bed
3.Effects terminal velocity of particle
4.Effects minimum fluidization velocity
5.Effects the choking velocity in pneumatic
conveying
6.For a fixed particle size the fluidization
characteristics depend on the particle density
of the bulk solid.

particle density measurement in lab

Measuring Principle :
It is a manual method in which the density is
determined by calculating finding the volume occupied
by a sample of known weight. After placing the sample
in the pycnometer, it is filled with distilled water and
then closed by a stopper with a capillary hole in it
which allows the spare liquid to leave. Thus providing
an accurate volume and density.

Measuring Principle :
The true volume of a solid is calculated from the measured drop in pressure
when a known amount of gas is allowed to expand into a chamber containing
sample. Thus including any pore volume accessible to the gas.

mercury porosimeter
Measuring Principle :
The mercury porosimetryanalysis technique is based on the intrusion of mercury into a porous
structure under stringently controlled pressures. Besides offering speed, accuracy, and a wide
measurement range, mercury porosimetrypermits you to calculate numerous sample properties
such as pore size distributions, total pore volume, total pore surface area, median pore diameter
and sample densities (bulk and skeletal).
