S
the sorptivity of the medium, with dimensions m*s-1/2
t
time of the process
f
the porosity of the medium

Formula description

When a dry porous medium, such as a brick or a wick, is brought into contact with a liquid, it will start absorbing the liquid at a rate which decreases over time. This is a kind of capillary action.
