= Vp / Vb ; Vp = Vb Vg
Vb (cube) = (2r)3
Vg (sphere) = 4/3 r3
= (8 r3 4/3 r3 ) / (8 r3) = 0.476 = 47.6%

2.1.1
Vb (cube) = (2r)3
Vg = Vsphere V pore (within the sphere)
Vg = 4/3 r3 - 4/3 (0.9 r3 ) = 1.135 r3

(liquid volume fraction) = (m b ) / ( m f)
m = matrix , b = bulk , f = fluid
b = 11 lb/gal = 1.32 gm/cc , f (water) = 1 gm/cc
= 0.803 = 80.3%

ri2 = Vmf / * 1 / h + rbh2

ri2 = vmf/ h + rbh2
ri2 = 1/ (vmf/h + rbh2)
where dv = Vmf/h

2.5
ri2 = 1/ ( dv/ + rbh2)
Vp = (0.8 0.2) / 0.8 = 0.75
= Vp / Vb => 0.4 = 0.75 / Vb => Vb = 0.75 / 0.4 = 1.87
dv = Vb / 0.5 = 1.87 / 0.5 = 3.75
ri2 = 1/ (3.75 / 0.4 + (3)2 ) = 11.98 in2
ri2 = 3.46 in2
