What is the difference between premeability and porosity?

The word is spelled 'Permeability'. Porosity means something can take water into itself but Permeable means it will allow water to pass through it


What does high porosity and low permeability mean?

Porosity refers to the amount of empty space that is between particles of material. When something has a low porosity, it does not have much of this space between its particles.


What is the difference between voidage and porosity?

"Porosity" can be used to refer to voidage of a granular material. Pporosity could also denote the relative volume of pores, cracks and spaces in the solid body, while voidage deals exclusively with the amount of spaces between particles in relation to the overall volume occupied by the granular material. Porosity is measure of void spaces in a material.voidage means the relative amount of space between materials that are tightly packed ..........

Difference between porosity and permeability?

Porosity is the amount of void space in a rock or other earth material (like a sand deposit) - in other words, it´s how much water a material can hold. Permeability refers to how well water flows through a material - that´s controlled by how large the pores are, and how well connected they are.


What factors affect porosity?

The larger the particle size, the higher the porosity. Also keep in mind that angular particles have a higher porosity than round particles. *Good way to remember porosity is that the spaces between particles are "pore-like."
