4. Flow through a particle bed
4.1 Darcy's law. Definition of permeability
Consider a pipe of cross-section S containing a porous bed of height Z through which flows a liquid of viscosity η at a volume flow rate q
v
(figure

). Darcy observed that the pressure drop ΔP across the bed is proportional to the bed height Z, the empty-barrel velocity, or mean velocity,
