Problem:
A sample of in-shell peanuts, stored inside a glass jar has the following properties. Assume that the jar is a cylindrical container (11 cm inside diameter by 10.5 cm high) and is completely filled with in-shell nuts. The apparent porosity =0.42, and the bulk density = 324 kg/m3. Each in shell peanut contains two edible nuts inside.
On average, each edible nut has a mass of 1.23 g and the true density of the edible part of the nut = 1,848 kg/m3. The true density of the shell = 270 kg/m3.
Required:
Question: Determine the total porosity of the nuts.
Note: Please provide full description.
