Permeability determination using porosity data (Kozeny-Carman equation)

Input(s)

\emptyset: Effective Porosity (fraction)

dd: Average Diameter of Rock Particles (in.)

Output(s)

kk: Permeability (mD)(\mathrm{mD})

Formula(s)

k=3.631109d23(1)2\mathrm{k}=3.631 \cdot 10^{9} \cdot \frac{\mathrm{d}^{2}-\varnothing^{3}}{(1-\varnothing)^{2}}
