Average permeability for linear flow - Series beds

Input(s)

k1k_{1}: Permeability for layer 1(mD)1(\mathrm{mD})

k2k_{2}: Permeability for layer 2(mD)2(\mathrm{mD})

k3k_{3}: Permeability for layer 3(mD)3(\mathrm{mD})

L1L_{1}: Length of layer 1(ft)1(\mathrm{ft})

L2L_{2}: Length of layer 2(ft)2(\mathrm{ft})

L3L_{3}: Length of layer 3(ft)3(\mathrm{ft})

Output(s)

kavg k_{\text {avg }}: Average Permeability in Linear Systems Series (mD)

Formula(s)

kavg=L1+L2+L3L1k1+L2k2+L3k3k_{a v g}=\frac{L_{1}+L_{2}+L_{3}}{\frac{L_{1}}{k_{1}}+\frac{L_{2}}{k_{2}}+\frac{L_{3}}{k_{3}}}
