  2. Permeability (materials science) - Wikipedia

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

    The concept of permeability is of importance in determining the flow characteristics of hydrocarbons in oil and gas reservoirs, [4] and of groundwater in aquifers. [5]For a rock to be considered as an exploitable hydrocarbon reservoir without stimulation, its permeability must be greater than approximately 100 md (depending on the nature of the hydrocarbon – gas reservoirs with lower ...

  3. Permeability (electromagnetism) - Wikipedia

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

    In SI units, permeability is measured in henries per meter (H/m), or equivalently in newtons per ampere squared (N/A 2). The permeability constant μ 0, also known as the magnetic constant or the permeability of free space, is the proportionality between magnetic induction and magnetizing force when forming a magnetic field in a classical vacuum.

  4. Permeation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permeation

    Permeation can occur through most materials including metals, ceramics and polymers. However, the permeability of metals is much lower than that of ceramics and polymers due to their crystal structure and porosity. Permeation is something that must be considered carefully in many polymer applications, due to their high permeability.

    Relative permeability, , for phase is then defined from =, as = / where is the permeability of the porous medium in single-phase flow, i.e., the absolute ...

  6. Permeability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permeability

    Permeability (earth sciences), a measure of the ability of a material (such as rocks) to transmit fluids Relative permeability, in multiphase flow in porous media; Permeability (foundry sand), a test of the venting characteristics of a rammed foundry sand; Hydraulic conductivity, the permeability of soil for water

  7. Electromagnetic wave equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_wave_equation

    is the speed of light (i.e. phase velocity) in a medium with permeability μ, and permittivity ε, and ∇ 2 is the Laplace operator. In a vacuum, v ph = c 0 = 299 792 458 m/s, a fundamental physical constant. [1] The electromagnetic wave equation derives from Maxwell's equations.

  8. Effective medium approximations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effective_medium...

    Effective permittivity and permeability are averaged dielectric and magnetic characteristics of a microinhomogeneous medium. They both were derived in quasi-static approximation when the electric field inside a mixture particle may be considered as homogeneous.

    μ 0 ≈ 12.566 × 10 −7 H/m is the magnetic constant, also known as the permeability of free space, ε 0 ≈ 8.854 × 10 −12 F/m is the electric constant, also known as the permittivity of free space, c is the speed of light in free space, [9] [10] The reciprocal of Z 0 is sometimes referred to as the admittance of free space and ...
