A core plug has a radius of 1.75x102 [m] and a length of 7.0x102 [m]. It is partially saturated with brine having a density of 1150 [kg/m³], (10% of the core volume was not occupied by brine). The dry core plug weighted 6.1x103 [kg], and 11.5x103 [kg] when it was partially saturated with brine. Calculate: 1- The effective porosity, 2- The un-effective porosity, 3- The total porosity.

Question
A core plug has a radius of 1.75x10 [m] and a length of 7.0x102 [m]. It is partially saturated with brine having a density of 1150 [kg/m'], ( 10% of the core volume was not occupied by brine ). The dry core plug weighted 6.1x10 kg), and 11.5x10 (kg] when it was partially saturated with brine. Calculate: 1- The effective porosity, 2- The un-effective porosity, 3- The total porosity.
