Permeability determination using porosity data (Kozeny-Carman equation)

Input(s)

$\emptyset$: Effective Porosity (fraction)

$d$: Average Diameter of Rock Particles (in.)

Output(s)

$k$: Permeability $(\mathrm{mD})$

Formula(s)

$$ \mathrm{k}=3.631 \cdot 10^{9} \cdot \frac{\mathrm{d}^{2}-\varnothing^{3}}{(1-\varnothing)^{2}} $$
