Compressibility and permeability of sand–silt tailings mixtures

Porosity and permeability in ternary sediment mixtures.

Permeability, k, and porosity, φ, were measured in mixtures of fine, medium, and coarse sand, where the volume fraction of each of the three components was systematically varied. The k was modeled well by the Kozeny-Carman equation for three-component mixtures by using a representative grain size parameter, d, computed by averaging the grain diameters of components recursively, with averaging m...

Compressibility and compactibility studies of chitosan, xanthan gum, and their mixtures

The compressibility and compactibility studies of binary mixtures containing chitosan (CS) and xanthan gum (XG) were highlighted in this article. The compressibility of the examined powders was studied according to Heckel and Gurnham equations. Results indicated that CS exhibits more ductile character than XG. Moreover, in this study percolation theory has been applied to the tensile strength o...

Porosity and Permeability of Bimodal Sediment Mixtures using Natural Sediment

A compressibility and compactibility study of real tableting mixtures: the effect of granule particle size.

This study investigates the effect of particle size on the compression characteristics of wet- (fluid-bed granulation - FBG) and dry-granulated (slugging - DGS) tableting mixtures. Particle-size distribution, flowability, compressibility, using the Heckel and Walker model, compactibility and elastic recovery as well as friability and disintegration were determined and compared between the two p...

Estimation of Gas Mixture Compressibility Factor and Viscosity based on AI and Experimental DataEstimation of Gas Mixture Compressibility Factor and Viscosity based on AI and Experimental Data

Compressibility factor and viscosity of natural gasses are of great importance in petroleum and chemical engineering. To calculate the natural gas properties in the pipelines, storage systems and reservoirs, the exact values of gas compressibility factor and viscosity are required. A new method that allows accurate determination of compressibility factor and gas viscosity for all types of: swee...
