Equilibrium and Transfer in Porous Media 1 : Equilibrium States.
A porous medium is composed of a solid matrix and its geometrical complement: the pore space. This porespace can be occupied by one or more fluids. The understanding of transport phenomena in porous media is a challenging intellectual task. This book provides a detailed analysis of the aspects requi...
