Experimental Demonstration of Entrance/Exit Effects on the Permeability Measurements of Porous Materials

The pressure drops were measured on metallic foams having uniform structure and different thicknesses, densities and pore sizes. Results indicated that entrance/exit effects can be a significant contributor to the pressure drop when the thickness of the specimens is small. Above a critical thickness...
