摘要

Since the internal structure of actual porous media has irregularity and complexity and is rough on the surface, it cannot be characterized accurately by traditional theoretical analytical methods. In this paper, the mathematical formalism of the effective diffusion coefficient of gas on rough porous surfaces is established by employing fractal geometry theory, utilizing the rough capillary tube bundle model, and introducing the penetration correction factor. The effective gas diffusion coefficient is investigated as a function relation of the rough porous media structural parameters and gas parameters. The results show that the effective diffusion coefficient of gas is positively correlated to the porosity, maximum pore diameter, and area fractal dimension of porous media and negatively correlated to the relative roughness, tortuous fractal dimension, the molar mass of gas, and gas density. The correctness and reliability of the present model have been confirmed, by the comparative analysis of the model predictive values in this paper and the available experimental data.
