If the fluid flowing through a rock is changed from water to oil, the hydraulic conductivity will change but the permeability will remain the same. true /false

Sagot :

If the fluid flowing through a rock is changed from water to oil, the hydraulic conductivity will change but the permeability will remain the same. True.

here Hydraulic conductivity of the material can be defined as the ability of the fluid to pass through the pores and fractured rocks. The conductivity depends on the type of the soils that are found in the region.

  • where as Permeability is a measure of the ease of passage of liquids or gases or specific chemicals through the material. Permeability is determined by applying a head and determining the depth of penetration or the amount of liquid or gas passing through the sample.
  • Hydraulic conductivity, sometimes called permeability, expresses how fast water flows through the soil voids; it is a function of the texture, grain size and distribution, density, as well as the macrostructure of the soil. For most engineering problems involving seepage and drainage of soils, Darcy's Law is valid.
