How to Calculate and Solve for Conversion of Volume Fraction to Mass Fraction | Phase Transformation
Last Updated on January 16, 2023
The image above represents the conversion of volume fraction to mass fraction.
To compute for volume fraction to mass fraction, four essential parameters are needed and these parameters are α-phase Volume Fraction (Vα), β-phase Volume Fraction (Vβ), α-phase Density (ρα) and β-phase Density (ρβ).
The formula for calculating volume fraction to mass fraction:
Wα = Vαρα/(Vαρα) + (Vβρβ)
Wβ = Vβρβ/(Vαρα) + (Vβρβ)
Where:
Wα = α-phase Weight/Mass Fraction
Wβ = β-phase Weight/Mass Fraction
Vα = α-phase Volume Fraction
Vβ = β-phase Volume Fraction
ρα = α-phase Density
ρβ = β-phase Density
Let’s solve an example;
Find the conversion of volume fraction to mass fraction when the α-phase volume fraction is 4, the β-phase volume fraction is 7, the α-phase density is 11 and the β-phase density is 10.
This implies that;
Vα = α-phase Volume Fraction = 4
Vβ = β-phase Volume Fraction = 7
ρα = α-phase Density = 11
ρβ = β-phase Density = 10
Wα = (4)(11)/((4)(11)) + ((7)(10))
Wα = (44)/(44) + (70)
Wα = (44)/(114)
Wα = 0.38
Therefore, the α-phase mass fraction, Wα is 0.38.
Wβ = (7)(10)/((4)(11)) + ((7)(10))
Wβ = (70)/(44) + (70)
Wβ = (70)/(114)
Wβ = 0.614
Therefore, the β-phase mass fraction, Wβ is 0.614.
