Abstract
The streamline flow of air through highly porous wads of textile fibers is studied. The rate of flow is found to be twice as great for fibers parallel to flow as for fibers perpendicular to flow. Shape factors for the channels through which the flow takes place are determined and compared with those for the ideal case of Emersleben. The problem of measuring specific surface of high porosity wads is discussed.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
