TLDR
In this paper, an error in the unit of hydraulic permeability was identified and corrected by using the symbol k and the symbol K to represent mobility instead of the coefficient of permeability.
Abstract
The unit of permeability is Darcy, md, or unit of area. The symbol used to represent it is k, and the symbol K is used to represent mobility. Many references including some textbooks in soil mechanics contain confusion between these two terms, that is, hydraulic permeability K is used to refer to permeability k. In these books the term hydraulic permeability or coefficient of permeability is used to refer to mobility. Moreover, the symbols k and K are used in a contrary manner. Also, there is an error in the unit of hydraulic permeability. This work is a trial to clarify and correct this error.

On the electrokinetic characterization of charged polymeric membranes by transversal streaming potential

TL;DR: It is shown that polymeric membranes can be affected by a transmembrane pressure application, which does not affect surface charge distribution of thepolymeric membranes, but it can strongly affect the membrane structure.

Removal of Mn(II) from Acidic Wastewater on the Red Mud– Loess Mixture: Fixed–Bed Column Tests

TL;DR: In this paper , the purification effect of red mud-loess mixture (RM-L) as a reactive medium in a permeable reactive barrier (PRB) for groundwater contaminated by acidic wastewater (AW) containing Mn(II) was explored considering removal capacity and pH value, and the safety of MnII on RM-L after purification was evaluated.

Onggi’s permeability to carbon dioxide accelerates kimchi fermentation

TL;DR: In this article, a mathematical model for carbon dioxide generation rate during fermentation using the onggi's gas permeability as a free parameter is presented, and the authors conclude that porous walls help the Onggi to ‘exhale’ carbon dioxide, lowering internal levels to those favored by lactic acid bacteria.

Elementary Fluid Mechanics

TL;DR: The Reynolds Transport Theorem and the Impulse-Momentum Principle as discussed by the authors have been used to describe the behavior of real and simulated real fluids. But they do not describe the dynamics of real fluid flow.

Permeability of saturated sands, soils and clays

TL;DR: In this paper, it is shown that clays do not conform to the Kozeny theory in its simple form, but that it may be modified to give a satisfactory representation of the data available.
