  2. Permeability (materials science) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permeability_(Materials...

    These terms refer to the quality that the permeability value in question is an intensive property of the medium, not a spatial average of a heterogeneous block of material equation 2.28 [clarification needed] [further explanation needed]; and that it is a function of the material structure only (and not of the fluid).

  3. Permeation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permeation

    In physics and engineering, permeation (also called imbuing) is the penetration of a permeate (a fluid such as a liquid, gas, or vapor) through a solid.It is directly related to the concentration gradient of the permeate, a material's intrinsic permeability, and the materials' mass diffusivity. [1]

  4. Osmosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osmosis

    The process of osmosis over a semipermeable membrane.The blue dots represent particles driving the osmotic gradient. Osmosis (/ ɒ z ˈ m oʊ s ɪ s /, US also / ɒ s-/) [1] is the spontaneous net movement or diffusion of solvent molecules through a selectively-permeable membrane from a region of high water potential (region of lower solute concentration) to a region of low water potential ...

  6. Darcy (unit) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darcy_(unit)

    The darcy is referenced to a mixture of unit systems. A medium with a permeability of 1 darcy permits a flow of 1 cm 3 /s of a fluid with viscosity 1 cP (1 mPa·s) under a pressure gradient of 1 atm/cm acting across an area of 1 cm 2. Typical values of permeability range as high as 100,000 darcys for gravel, to less than 0.01 microdarcy for ...

  7. Permeability (electromagnetism) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permeability...

    In terms of relative permeability, the magnetic susceptibility is χ m = μ r − 1. {\displaystyle \chi _{m}=\mu _{r}-1.} The number χ m is a dimensionless quantity , sometimes called volumetric or bulk susceptibility, to distinguish it from χ p ( magnetic mass or specific susceptibility) and χ M ( molar or molar mass susceptibility).

  8. Hydraulic conductivity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydraulic_conductivity

    In science and engineering, hydraulic conductivity (K, in SI units of meters per second), is a property of porous materials, soils and rocks, that describes the ease with which a fluid (usually water) can move through the pore space, or fracture network. [1]

  9. Hydrogel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrogel

    A hydrogel is a biphasic material, a mixture of porous and permeable solids and at least 10% of water or other interstitial fluid. [1] [2] The solid phase is a water insoluble three dimensional network of polymers, having absorbed a large amount of water or biological fluids.
