Definition: This calculator determines the percentage concentration of polymer in a solution based on the active polymer and dilution water quantities.
Purpose: It helps chemical engineers and researchers determine the concentration of polymer solutions for various applications.
The calculator uses the formula:
Where:
Explanation: The active polymer quantity is divided by the dilution water quantity and multiplied by 100 to get the percentage concentration.
Details: Accurate solution concentration is crucial for achieving desired chemical reactions, material properties, and process efficiency.
Tips: Enter the active polymer and dilution water values in m³/s. Both values must be > 0.
Q1: Why is solution concentration important?
A: The concentration affects the polymer's performance, reaction rates, and final product properties.
Q2: What units should I use?
A: The calculator uses m³/s for both inputs, but consistent units can be used as long as they match.
Q3: What's a typical polymer concentration range?
A: This varies by application but often ranges from 0.1% to 10% for many industrial uses.
Q4: How do I measure active polymer quantity?
A: Use precise measuring equipment or calculate based on material specifications and mass balance.
Q5: Does temperature affect the calculation?
A: Temperature can affect polymer behavior but doesn't directly affect this mass-based calculation.
