β¦ Synopsis
Two phase countercurrent steady-state flow through permeable media in one dimension is discussed. For steady-state countercurrent flow in water wet porous media, a saturation profile is predicted with the water saturation decreasing in the direction that the water phase is flowing. The de la Cruz and Spanos equations predict that the Muskat relative permeability curves for countercurrent flow will be less than the Muskat relative permeability curves for steady-state cocurrent flow. This result has immediate implications regarding the use of external drive techniques to determine relative permeabilities based on the Buckley-Leverett theory and Muskat's equations. These equations and current experimental evidence involving countercurrent flow indicate that Muskat's equations do not adequately describe the multiphase flow of immiscible fluids.

## Abstract A complete threeβdimensional mathematical model has been developed governing the steady, laminar flow of an incompressible fluid subjected to a magnetic field and including internal heating due to the Joule effect, heat transfer due to conduction, and thermally induced buoyancy forces.
Using an equilibrium dynamics model and one taking into account internal diffusion resistance, the separation efficiency is calculated for systems obeying the Langmuir isotherm in periodic countercurrent adsorption. The equilibrium and kinetic parameters, the cycle time and the number of columns are
