Title: Application of a self-consistent model to the permeability of a fixed swarm of permeable spheres

Journal Article · · AIChE J.; (United States)

By using Neale and Nader's self-consistent method in the calculation of the permeability of a swarm of permeable spheres, an implicit formula giving the ratio of the permeabilities of the medium and of the spheres is obtained, which is more general than those given in the literature, since they can be deduced as limiting cases. As shown by Neale and Nader, the self-consistent method applied to impermeable spheres leads to good agreement with experimental results. Thus, the same conclusion should hold for the present calculations when permeable spheres are used. Diagram, table, and graph.
