Hi! Question is shown in the picture. It is required to find absolute permeability.

The answer is: 1 Darcy

1. Absolute permeability of a core sample is being measured by water-flooding. The core
sample is mounted in a transparent cylindrical tube, as shown in the figure below, and the
air-water surface is monitored as function of time. The tube is placed in a vertical position
and the water is assumed to flow through the whole core sample, evenly distributed over
the surface. Calculate the absolute permeability of the sample when the air-water surface
uses 400 seconds to move 18 cm.
Water
100 cm
82 cm
Core sample
2 cm
q
Additional data:
Density of water is 1 g/cm³
Water viscosity is 1 cP
Gravitational constant is 980 cm/s²
Thickness of the core sample is 2 cm
