摘要:
The invention relates to a method for determining a volume (Vs) of a settled bed in a mixture in a loading space (1). The mixture comprises a settled bed and a mixture soup above the settled bed. The method comprises: a) determining a mixture height (hh) of the mixture in the loading space, and determining a mixture volume (Vh) of the mixture in the loading space on the basis of the mixture height (hh), b) determining the mass (m) of the mixture in the loading space (1), c) determining a density of the settled mixture (ps), d) determining a density of the mixture soup (pimi), and e) determining the volume (Vs) of the settled bed using the formula Vs = (m - Vh Pmi) / (Ps - Pmi).
