Calculation method

Calculation method

Wet mass unaccounted (kg)

Scrap+water−recovered−discarded.

Recovered dry-solids mass (kg)

Recovered wet mass×supplied dry fraction.

Wet recovery fraction of total input

Recovered/(scrap+added water); not dry-solids yield.

Symbols and units

Assumptions & limits

Assumptions & limits

  • Scrap, added water, recovered clay, losses. Returns Recovered yield and moisture ledger. All coefficients and observations are user supplied; results describe only the stated mathematical model. Quantities are deterministic calculations from supplied observations and assumptions; no external data is fetched. Supported limits: Finite inputs only; numeric fields bounded as labelled. Lists and JSON records are limited to 256 entries unless a stricter tool bound is stated. No automatic design approval, legal conclusion, treatment recommendation or safety certification. Wet scrap mass (kg): minimum 0, maximum 1000000000000.0. Added water mass (kg): minimum 0, maximum 1000000000000.0. Recovered wet clay mass (kg): minimum 0, maximum 1000000000000.0. Measured discarded wet mass (kg): minimum 0, maximum 1000000000000.0. Recovered clay dry-solids fraction: minimum 0, maximum 1.
