Additive manufacturing techniques can produce complex, high-value metal parts, with potential applications as critical metal components such as those found in aerospace engines and as customized biomedical implants. Material porosity in these parts is undesirable for aerospace parts - since porosity could lead to premature failure - and desirable for some biomedical implants - since surface-bre...

1 Flow in deformable porous media I 2 Abstract Many processes in the earth, such as magma migration, can be described by the ow of a low viscosity uid in a viscously deformable, permeable matrix. The purpose of this and a companion paper is to develop a better physical understanding of the equations governing these two-phase ows. This paper presents a series of analytic approximate solutions to...

BACKGROUND The authors of this manuscript aimed to show the importance of porosity and condensation in health according to traditional Persian medicine (TPM) with consideration of new evidence in conventional medicine. METHODS Cardinal traditional medical and pharmacological texts were searched for the traditional terms of takhalkhol (porosity) and takassof (condensity) focused on preventive ...

The porosity of a material can be determined using a diversity of methods; however, the results from these methods have so far not been compared and analyzed for calcium phosphate cements (CPCs). The aim of this study was to compare a fast and easy method for porosity measurements with some commonly used porosity methods for CPCs. The investigated method is based on the assumption that when a w...

The detailed reservoir characterization was examined for the Central Indus Basin (CIB), Pakistan, across Qadirpur Field Eocene rock units. Various petrophysical parameters were analyzed with integration of various cross-plots, complex water saturation, shale volume, effective porosity, total hydrocarbon neutron porosity and sonic concepts, gas effects, lithology. In total, 8–14% high 45–62% sat...

Nowadays, oily wastewater is increasing along with the growth of various industries. So, wastewater treatment is necessary in order to protect the environment. In this study, a mullite ceramic membrane was prepared. Then, oily wastewater treatment with 200 mg L-1 concentration was investigated by the response surface methodology based on Box-Behnken design (BBD) using Design-Expert 7...

Crown porosity influences radiation interception, air movement through the fruit orchard, spray penetration, and harvesting operation in fruit crops. The aim of the present study was to develop an accurate and reliable methodology based on transmitted radiation measurements to assess the porosity of traditional olive trees under different pruning treatments. Transmitted radiation was employed a...

The main objective of this work is quantitative evaluation of porosity in carbon fiber reinforced polymers (CFRP) with the help of X-ray computed tomography (XCT). For this purpose two types of sample were compared. Industrial porosity sample was obtained from an aeronautical industry. Artificially induced porosity samples were created by drilling holes with diameter 0.2 mm and 0.3 mm in non-po...

Grain size distribution (sorting) is determined by deposition. It may affect sediment bulk and elastic properties in a non-linear and non-unique way. The quantification of these relations is important for seismic reservoir characterization, especially in geological settings where sand/shale (bimodal) mixtures are present. Below, effective-medium equations are introduced for calculating the poro...
