Abstract
A simple model was proposed for the prediction of tortuosity factor of porous solids with mono or bidispersed pore size distributions. Model predictions were presented in graphical form for quick estimation of tortuosity. The experimental tortuosity factors reported in the literature for porous solids of different pore structures and the corresponding predicted values showed good agreement.Keywords
