Sound Propagation in Capillary-tube-type Porous Media with Small Pores in the Capillary Walls

چکیده
Sound propagation i gas-filled capillary-tube-type orous media was investigated. The capillary tubes were taken to be nominally straight with very small pores in the walls of the capillary tubes. The complex wave number and the characteristic mpedance of such media were evaluated. Application to ceramic samples having capillary pores with square cross sections and porous walls is developed as an explanation for the anomalous tortuosity factor previously inferred for this material. Specific acoustic impedance (SAI) measurements were performed for rigid-backed square pore ceramic media having finite wall porosity. It is shown that phase velocity is decreased, attenuation is increased, and characteristic mpedance is decreased by finite wall porosity. SAI measurements were also performed after the wall pores were filled with water. These measurements agree favorably with the porous wall and nonporous wall theories, respectively. This work provides a model for the acoustical properties of gas-filled monolithic catalyst supports of which the square pore ceramic media is an example.

Transport Property Estimation of Non-Uniform Porous Media
In this work a glass micromodel which its grains and pores are non-uniform in size, shape and distribution is considered as porous medium. A two-dimensional random network model of micromodel with non-uniform pores has been constructed. The non-uniformity of porous model is achieved by assigning parametric distribution functions to pores throat and pores length, which was measured using ima...

The evaluation of a free fluid surface in a porous medium has several mathematical applications that are important in industries using molds, particularly in the fluid injection process. The vacuum-assisted resin transfer molding (VARTM) process is a promising technology in the primary composite industry. An accurate computational simulation of the VARTM process would be a cost-effective tool i...
متن کاملPrediction of Time of Capillary Rise in Porous Media Using Artificial Neural Network (ANN)
An Artificial Neural Network (ANN) was used to analyse the capillary rise in porous media. Wetting experiments were performed with fifteen liquids and fifteen different powders. The liquids covered a wide range of surface tension ( 15.45-71.99 mJ/m2 ) and viscosity (0.25-21 mPa.s). The powders also provided an acceptable range of particle size (0.012-45 μm) and surface free...

In this study, direct laboratory measurements of unsteady-state imbibition test are used in a new approach to obtain relative permeability curves with no predetermined functionality assumptions. Four equations of continuity, Darcy’s law, cumulative oil production, and water fractional flow are employed in combination together under certain assumptions to present the new approach which interpret...
