The 1 H NMR spin-lattice relaxation time, T 1 , of saturated sands depended on the chemistry of the pore fluid, pore size distribution, and relaxivity of the surface. In the absence of paramagnetic impurities, surface relaxivities of quartz sand and silica gel samples of known porosity and surface a

โฆ Synopsis
Studies of a theoretical model suggest that nuclear magnetic relaxation measurements on porous media will yield only an average pore dimension. The model consists of a random walk on a site percolation lattice with absorbing sites. Over a broad range of porosities, diiusion coeffkients, and surface relaxation rates, the model yields only a single relaxation time. Under conditions of fast diffusion the relaxation time is proportional to the volume-to-surface ratio of the system. Under conditions of slow diffusion the relaxation time appears to depend on a pore dimension. But this dimension cannot easily be related to the pore geometry.
