  2. Permeability (materials science) - Wikipedia

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

    A practical unit for permeability is the darcy (d), or more commonly the millidarcy (md) (1 d ≈ 10 −12 m 2). The name honors the French Engineer Henry Darcy who first described the flow of water through sand filters for potable water supply. Permeability values for most materials commonly range typically from a fraction to several thousand ...

  3. Permeability (electromagnetism) - Wikipedia

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

    For example, 4% electrical steel has an initial relative permeability (at or near 0 T) of 2,000 and a maximum of 38,000 at T = 1 [5] [6] and different range of values at different percent of Si and manufacturing process, and, indeed, the relative permeability of any material at a sufficiently high field strength trends toward 1 (at magnetic ...

  4. Permeation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permeation

    This method involves taking a sample of the test chemical and placing it on the surface of the material whose permeability is being observed while adding or removing specific amounts of the test chemical. After a known amount of time, the material is analyzed to find the concentration of the test chemical present throughout its structure.

  5. Fluid flow through porous media - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluid_flow_through_porous...

    Permeability of porous medium [m 2]. The permeability is a function of material type, and also varies with stress, temperature, etc. Fluid viscosity [Pa.s] Cross-sectional area of Porous medium [m 2] Pressure drop across medium [Pa] Length of sample [m]

  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. Magnetic core - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_core

    A magnetic core is a piece of magnetic material with a high magnetic permeability used to confine and guide magnetic fields in electrical, electromechanical and magnetic devices such as electromagnets, transformers, electric motors, generators, inductors, loudspeakers, magnetic recording heads, and magnetic assemblies.

  8. Permalloy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permalloy

    Strip of permalloy. Permalloy is a nickel–iron magnetic alloy, with about 80% nickel and 20% iron content.Invented in 1914 by physicist Gustav Elmen at Bell Telephone Laboratories, [1] it is notable for its very high magnetic permeability, which makes it useful as a magnetic core material in electrical and electronic equipment, and also in magnetic shielding to block magnetic fields.

  9. Mu-metal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mu-metal

    Mu-metal typically has relative permeability values of 80,000–100,000 compared to several thousand for ordinary steel. It is a "soft" ferromagnetic material; it has low magnetic anisotropy and magnetostriction, [1] giving it a low coercivity so that it saturates at low magnetic fields.
