Permeability determination using porosity data (Kozeny-Carman equation)
Input(s)
\(\emptyset\): Effective Porosity (fraction)
\(d\): Average Diameter of Rock Particles (in.)
Output(s)
\(k\): Permeability \((\mathrm{mD})\)
Formula(s)
\[
\mathrm{k}=3.631 \cdot 10^{9} \cdot \frac{\mathrm{d}^{2}-\varnothing^{3}}{(1-\varnothing)^{2}}
\]
