Slug size in polymer floods

Input(s)

A: Adsorption (g polymer/g rock)

$\rho$: Density $(\mathrm{g} / \mathrm{cc})$

$\emptyset$: Porosity (fraction)

C: Concentration $(\mathrm{g} / \mathrm{cc})$

Output(s)

S: Slug Size (dimensionless)

Formula(s)

$$ \mathrm{S}=\left(\mathrm{A} * \rho * \frac{1-\emptyset}{\mathrm{C} * \emptyset}\right) $$
