Formula 9.22

Liquid permeability (permeameter lab measurement)

Input(s)

$\mu$: Viscosity of Liquid Phase $(\mathrm{cP})$

$t$: Flowing Time (s)

$V$: Liquid Volume that flows in time $t-$ Burette Volume $\left(\mathrm{cm}^{3}\right)$

$P$: Pressure value that read from Pressure Gauge (Atm)

L: Plug Length $(\mathrm{cm})$

A: Open-Flow Area of the Plug $\left(\mathrm{cm}^{2}\right)$

Output(s)

$k$: Permeability (D)

Formula(s)

$$ \mathrm{k}=\frac{\mu \cdot \mathrm{V} \cdot \mathrm{L}}{\mathrm{A} \cdot \mathrm{P} \cdot \mathrm{t}} $$
