Slurry Density Calculator
Ideal additive volume two-component slurry bulk density from actual mass solids fraction/densities, no infer mixture compatibility, rheology or solids volume percent.
Description
A two-component slurry density depends on solids mass fraction and the densities of its phases.
A two-component slurry density depends on solids mass fraction and the densities of its phases.1
This tool evaluates an ideal additive-volume model without estimating rheology or converting mass fraction to volume percent directly.
When to use Slurry Density Calculator
This tool evaluates an ideal additive-volume model without estimating rheology or converting mass fraction to volume percent directly.
How to use Slurry Density Calculator and how it works
- Prepare solids mass fraction, actual solid density, actual liquid density, using the input definitions and matching units below.
- Enter the required fields and run Slurry Density Calculator.
- Read result.value using the units, signs and ordering explained below.
- Correct any rejected inputs and rerun; interpret the result within the stated model and its assumptions.
| Input field | Meaning | Value type | Requirement |
|---|---|---|---|
| actualSolidsMassFraction | Actual Solids Mass Fraction. Use the units and matching context stated in the calculation below. | number | Required; fraction from 0 to 1; finite; other constraints below |
| callerActualSolidDensity | Caller Actual Solid Density. Use the units and matching context stated in the calculation below. | number | Required; strictly positive; finite; other constraints below |
| callerActualLiquidDensity | Caller Actual Liquid Density. Use the units and matching context stated in the calculation below. | number | Required; strictly positive; finite; other constraints below |
Require solids mass fraction from 0 to 1 and positive solid/liquid densities in the same units. Return reciprocal of massFraction/solidDensity+(1-massFraction)/liquidDensity. Endpoints return the corresponding phase density. This ideal additive-volume mixture assumes supplied phase properties and does not infer rheology or compatibility.
slurryDensity=1/(massFraction/solidDensity+(1-massFraction)/liquidDensity) Apply the input ordering, units and branch conditions stated above.
| Output field | Meaning | Value type |
|---|---|---|
| result | Object containing the calculated or selected fields below. | object |
| result.value | Ideal additive-volume bulk density in the supplied phase-density unit. | number |

}Limitations and assumptions
The calculation uses the supplied observations and model inputs. It does not collect measurements, select a reference population or coefficient, or establish that the model applies to the actual case. The stated branch conditions and output units remain part of the result.
All fields require explicit values. Unexpected fields, wrong types, nonfinite numbers and sparse arrays are rejected. Alignment, bounds and supported-token rules are explained above; extremely large inputs or nonfinite results can also fail. Input errors differ from successful false comparisons, unavailable-domain flags and empty match lists.
