Abstract
The permeabilities of nanocrystalline 3 mol% yttria-stabilized zirconia (3Y-TZP), silica, and boehmite powder compacts are measured during their formation by constant rate pressure filtration. The Carman–Kozeny equation with no account for the effect of adsorbed water often overestimates by a factor of 2 or more the measured permeabilities, with increasing deviation with decreasing permeability. A permeability equation from the literature and one derived here, both taking into account the effect of adsorbed water, show significant improvement over the classic Carman–Kozeny equation for predicting measured permeabilities. The equation derived here allows straightforward predictions to be made of how permeability will change as the critical point of drying (when shrinkage stops) is approached.
