Abstract

This paper discusses permeability (fluid flow) as a function of porosity (void volume) and average pore size, the most probable pore-size distribution, alternative meanings of average pore size, and how these measurements correlate with results of separate filtration tests.

Keywords:
fluid filters, porosity, pore size, fluid flow, Reynolds number, friction factor, viscous flow, inertial flow, log-normal distribution, most probable pore-size distribution, filtration efficiency
