I. Abstract
Permeability (K) is a measure of the ability of a porous material ( often, a rock or an
unconsolidated material ) to allow fluids to pass through it. High permeability will allow fluids to
move rapidly.

We do the experiment to define the rate of capillary penetration into fibrous media ( i.e, the
wicking velocity of liquid into paper) to determine the effective permeability of the paper.
Relative permeability and capillary pressures are very important in crude oil extraction and
reservoir engineering.

The permeability of filter paper was determined by analyzing the rate of capillary penetration
into fibrous media using Darcy’s Law and the experiment has relative correction so we must
calculate some error for the measure.

II. Introduction
Permeability has many practical applications outside of geology, for example in chemical
engineering. Analyzing the rate of capillary penetration into fibrous media using Darcy’s Law to
determine the permeability of thin porous filter paper. Darcy’s Law is the good method to
determine the permeability of filter paper. In this experiment, we assume that the paper has an
isotropic pore distribution and that the fluid reservoir is infinite.

Relative permeability and capillary pressures are very important in crude oil extraction and
reservoir engineering. The fluid (oil, water) can be permeated through soild- porous media
(sand, ground,…). Thus, determining the permeability of the material is very important. In this
experiment, the permeability of What man #1 filter paper was found by the rate of capillary
penetration into fibrous media (that is the wicking velocity of liquid into filter paper) and
applying the equation of Darcy’s Law. There were 3 fluids (water, oleic acid, motor oil
SAE20W-50). Darcy Law is an equation that describes the flow of a fluid through a porous
medium. The equation is expressed as:

K is the permeability of filter paper.

Purpose

 Measure the rate of capillary penetration into fibrous media (i.e. the wicking velocity of liquid
into paper ) to determine the effective permeability of the paper.

 Relative permeability and capillary pressures are very important in crude oil extraction and
reservoir engineering.
 Provide hands- on experience in determining relative permeabilities, data collection, modeling,
error analysis, and memo report writing.

Darcy’s law: U=
μ
Where: k is the permeability of paper (mm2)
μis dynamic viscosity of fluid (g.mm-1s-1)
∇ P is the pressure gradient
In a capillary tube shown above the pressure difference is given by:

2 γcosθ
Pliq =Pat m −
a

Where: γ is the air/liquid interfacial tension ( g.s-2)


a is the tube radius (mm)
θ is the contact angle of the liquid/solid interface

Governing Equation:

Boundary Condition 1:

2 γcosθ
Pliq =Patm − at r = R(t)
a

Boundary Condition 2:

P=P atm at r = Ro
This differential equation can be solved to obtain the pressure as a function of radial
position.
Then we have the result:

2. Experimental Methodology

 Each group will be provided with a lab stand, some rulers, some small glass capillary tubes,
some fluids of various viscosity, and several pieces of Whatman #1 filter paper.
 Make sure the fluid is wicked to the top of the tube. You can check this by touching a piece of
paper to the top of the tube. The fluid should wet the paper. If not, you need a shorter tube.
 First, do a trial run without acquiring any data to get a feel for the procedure

 Once you are ready, place the filter paper onto the stand and slowly lower the paper until it
contacts the tube or raise the tube until it contacts the filter paper. That moment when the fluid
first contacts the filter paper is t = 0 and is critical to measure accurately for fast wicking
fluids. Use a ruler to measure the radius of the wet region as a function of time.

 As soon as you are comfortable with the procedure, perform three trial replicates with the
various fluids

When we did the experiment, we recorded the data of radius of circle in filter paper (mm)
and the corresponding time (second). Plotting the data, if the graph is linear, the slope of this
graph is β. So we can calculate the value of permeability by using excel program .

V. Conclusion

I have successfully completed the experiment “Radial Capillary Penetration Into Fibrous
Media", the following conclusions can be drawn:

- Darcy’s Law is the good method to determine the permeability of filter paper. The
advantages of this method are easy to do experiment
- However, the experiment results did not have the expected values. The way to measure
time, radius of the osmotic fluid, the central position of the filter paper of students may
cause the errors in the results
- Calculating the permeability in this experiment, we have:

o Permeability of Water:
k w =¿5.74*10-10 ± 2.03846*10-11 (mm)

o Permeability of Oleic Acid:


k oleic =¿2.44*10-11 ± 8.4875*10-13 (mm)

o Permeability of Motor Oil:


k motor oil =¿2.03*10-11 ± 7.3617*10-13 (mm)
