Slug size in polymer floods
Input(s)
A: Adsorption (g polymer/g rock)
\(\rho\): Density \((\mathrm{g} / \mathrm{cc})\)
\(\emptyset\): Porosity (fraction)
C: Concentration \((\mathrm{g} / \mathrm{cc})\)
Output(s)
S: Slug Size (dimensionless)
Formula(s)
\[
\mathrm{S}=\left(\mathrm{A} * \rho * \frac{1-\emptyset}{\mathrm{C} * \emptyset}\right)
\]
