Porosity, or empty space may used in fields like ceramics, pharmaceutics, manufacturing, engineering, and soil mechanics. Each field has different scenarios when porosity would be used.
Sandstone generally has the greatest porosity among rocks due to its high content of interconnected pores. This is why sandstone is commonly used as an underground reservoir for oil and natural gas.
If you were to graph particle size and porosity, it would be a constant slope (horizontal line).Porosity is not affected by particle size.
big particles=low porosity small particles=high porosity
Acoustic porosity is in reference to the the porosity calculated from data collected from acoustic (aka, sonic) logs. In the oil industry, this is a common method to determine porosity. The most commonly used equations are the Wyllie and Hunt-Raymer equations which equate interval transit time to pore volume.

round particles of the same size.
The porosity percentage of coke typically ranges from 30% to 40%, depending on the specific type and production process. This porosity is important as it affects the material's bulk density, gas permeability, and reactivity in processes such as combustion and gasification. The porosity is influenced by factors like the carbonization temperature and the type of coal used to produce the coke.
Porosity and porous are related but not the same. Porosity refers to the measure of void spaces in a material, indicating how much of the material is made up of pores or openings. In contrast, porous is an adjective used to describe a material that has significant porosity, meaning it contains many pores that can allow fluids or gases to pass through.

how do we calculate porosity of ceramic?
Porosity is the formation of bubbles in the weld.
poorly sorted = low porosity well sorted = high porosity
The porosity directly correlates with the permeability because the permeability requires a certain level of porosity for a certain measure of it.
