RE: Diffusion in Porous Media – A world of applications – Part 1
Hello, I decided to stop by and leave you a comment as a thank you for sharing your post. I see many voted you but very few left you a comment. According to your definition then the stem of plants should be considered a consolidated porous media. Have you ever done studies on plants? For a small study I did in the past I had to quantify the surface area of some plant stems by measuring the gas adsorption. Their surface area is incredibly high which tells me they must be very porous, have you ever done studies on plants?
Hi @aboutcoolscience, thanks for the comment.
You're right, the stem of plants should be considered a consolidated porous media. So far I have not had the opportunity to do studies in plants. Are you a biologist? For your results, then the pores of the plants have a high specific surface area.
I mainly work on biomedical engineering and gene therapy on bone marrow cells. The one on plants was just a fun side-project I had.
Very interesting your field of work! If I had not studied physics, I would have liked studied to medicine.
it's never too late to learn :)
It is true. At any time I encourage you to study medicine :)
