Abstract
A method has been proposed for deriving a characteristic determining flow in porous systems. This characteristic combines both area and path-length factors used by earlier authors. For a gas, diffusive flow is proportional to the 4/3 power of the gas-filled porosity, and this function has been derived from consideration of the planar distribution of spherical pores and the interaction of two adjacent planes.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
