Specific yield, also known as the drainable porosity, is a ratio, less than or equal to the effective porosity, indicating the volumetric fraction of the bulk aquifer volume that a given aquifer will yield when all the water is allowed to drain out of it under the forces of gravity:
V cap = volume of capillary bound water. V fw = volume of free water. V hyd = volume of hydrocarbon. Φ T = Total porosity (PHIT), which includes the connected and not connected pore throats. Φ e = Effective porosity which includes only the inter-connected pore throats. V b = bulk volume of the rock. Key equations: V ma + V cl + V fw + V hyd = 1
In materials science, bulk density, also called apparent density, is a material property defined as the mass of the many particles of the material divided by the bulk volume. Bulk volume is defined as the total volume the particles occupy, including particle's own volume, inter-particle void volume, and the particles' internal pore volume. [1]
The bulk volume of a material —inclusive of the void space fraction— is often obtained by a simple measurement (e.g. with a calibrated measuring cup) or geometrically from known dimensions. Mass divided by bulk volume determines bulk density. This is not the same thing as the material volumetric mass density.
where is the void ratio, is the porosity, V V is the volume of void-space (gases and liquids), V S is the volume of solids, and V T is the total (or bulk) volume. This figure is relevant in composites, in mining (particular with regard to the properties of tailings), and in soil science.

College football has never been safe for the sane of mind, but the 12-team playoff seems to have sent it over the cliff.
A unit of volume is a unit of measurement for measuring volume or capacity, the extent of an object or space in three dimensions. Units of capacity may be used to specify the volume of fluids or bulk goods, for example water, rice, sugar, grain or flour.
