The specific gravities of solids and carrier fluids of a slurry are usually known, but the specific gravity of the slurry depends on the concentration of the solid particles. Show that the specific gravity of a water-based slurry can be expressed in terms of the specific gravity of the solid SGs and the mass concentration of the suspended solid particles Cs, mass as SGm = 1 / 1+ Cs, mass(1/SGs − 1)
