Question: Radial flow through a porous medium (Fig. 4C.4), a fluid flows through a porous cylindrical shell with inner and outer radii R 1 and R

Radial flow through a porous medium (Fig. 4C.4), a fluid flows through a porous cylindrical shell with inner and outer radii R1 and R2, respectively. At these surfaces, the pressures are known to be P1 and P2, respectively. The length of the cylindrical shell is h. 

(a) Find the pressure distribution, radial flow velocity, and mass rate of flow for an incompressible fluid. 

(b) Rework (a) for a compressible liquid and for an ideal gas. 

Porous medium Fluid R1 w = mass rate of flow Pressure p2 Pressure p1

Porous medium Fluid R1 w = mass rate of flow Pressure p2 Pressure p1
