The formula to calculate the Number of Particles is:
\[ N_p = \frac{m}{\rho_{\text{particle}} \cdot V_{\text{particle}}} \]
Number of Particles is the number of particles present in a given sample or mixture. Mixture Mass is the total mass of the given mixture. Density of One Particle is defined as the mass of a unit volume of sediment solids. Volume of Spherical Particle is the capacity of a single particle or the volume occupied by one particle.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula:
\[ N_p = \frac{0.15}{12.2 \cdot 0.006} \approx 2.04918032786885 \]
The Number of Particles is approximately 2.04918032786885.
