Lab 2 - Soil Texture, Density, and Porosity
Introduction
Soil physical properties greatly impact how soils behave. Outcomes of most agricultural as well
as engineering projects are often defined by the properties of the soil involved. Soils are made
of soil solids and pore space; the soil solids are made up mostly of minerals as well as organic
matter while the pore space is made up of air and water. Ideally, these two portions are in a
50/50 ratio (Figure 1). Soil physical properties describe the soil particles and the manner in
which they aggregate and are arranged. The following exercise will focus on soil texture, soil
density, and soil porosity.
Figure 1. Ideal soil composition (Text Figure 1.18)
Soil Texture
Soil texture is the proportion of the different sized particles in soil. Only the fine earth fraction
of sand, silt, and clay are included. There are two methods for determining texture in soils by
feel and mechanistically using particle size analysis. Neither the coarse fraction greater than
2mm in diameter nor organic matter are included in textural analysis. In the previous lab
exercise, soil texture was estimated by feel. The particle size analysis procedure via mechanical
means is accomplished using a Bouyoucos hydrometer and calculated using Stokes Law. Stokes
law establishes a relationship between particle size and sedimentation. The velocity by which a
particle fall through a liquid is proportional to the gravitational force and the square of the
effective particle diameter. In other words, ‘the bigger they are, the faster they fall’. When
the soil is dispersed, the larger, sand particles will settle or fall to the bottom of a liquid faster
than silts or clays.
When conducting this experiment in the lab, the first task it to remove the coarse fraction from
the soil sample which is generally done by sieving (2mm). Soil particles want to stay together;
the soil separates and their aggregates do not easily separate. In order to achieve separation
both mechanical and chemical intervention is needed. Sieving removed large portions of the
organic matter, but it still is a significant agent in the binding of soil particles together, so
hydrogen peroxide is al ...

CFD Simulation of By-pass Flow in a HRSG module by R&R Consult.pptxR&R Consult
CFD analysis is incredibly effective at solving mysteries and improving the performance of complex systems!
Here's a great example: At a large natural gas-fired power plant, where they use waste heat to generate steam and energy, they were puzzled that their boiler wasn't producing as much steam as expected.
R&R and Tetra Engineering Group Inc. were asked to solve the issue with reduced steam production.
An inspection had shown that a significant amount of hot flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes, where the heat was supposed to be transferred.
R&R Consult conducted a CFD analysis, which revealed that 6.3% of the flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes without transferring heat. The analysis also showed that the flue gas was instead being directed along the sides of the boiler and between the modules that were supposed to capture the heat. This was the cause of the reduced performance.
Based on our results, Tetra Engineering installed covering plates to reduce the bypass flow. This improved the boiler's performance and increased electricity production.
It is always satisfying when we can help solve complex challenges like this. Do your systems also need a check-up or optimization? Give us a call!
Work done in cooperation with James Malloy and David Moelling from Tetra Engineering.

• At any time t, hydrometer measures the
specific gravity of the suspension near the
vicinity of its bulb (depth L).
• For pure water hydrometer reading will be 1.
• It indirectly gives the amount of soil that is
still in suspension.
• By knowing the amount of soil in
suspension, L, and t, we can calculate the
%age of soil by weight finer than a given
diameter.

A soil sample consisting of particles of size 0.5 mm to 0.01
mm is put on the surface of still water tank 5m deep.
Calculate the time of settlement of the coarsest and finest
