Substituting Equation 3.73 into the above expression, it can be shown
that the change in conductivity caused by the change in pore radius is as
follows:
(3.90)
where = L1/L (Figure 3.3 1 B), Ar = 1 - A1 /Aa, and Ca is the apparent
conductivity of the block such that Equation 3.52 is true. Combining
the Darcy and Poiseuille equations, it can be shown that the effect of
