“…Permeability is an important physical parameter in the geological sciences and geotechnical engineering and has been investigated with regard to, coal gasification (Hetherington and Thambimuthu, 2003), disposal of high-level radioactive wastes (Takeda et al, 2009), underground oil and gas reservoirs (Shahverdi and Sohrabi, 2017), shale oil production (Egboga et al, 2016), extraction of geothermal energy (Somerton and Boozer, 1960;Zarichyak et al, 2013), protection of stone cultural relics (Hajpál, 2002;Hajpál and Török, 2004), underground oil or gasification (Wu et al, 2003;Kök, 2009;Zhao et al, 2009;Ranjith et al, 2012;), deep petroleum boring (Gao, 2005;Dutton et al, 2012), coal pyrolysis (Zhao et al, 2009;Liang et al, 2005), water inrushes in underground projects (Ding et al, 2016) and extraction of geothermal energy (Yang et al, 2017). In these experiments, the rock is always affected by certain temperatures and confining pressures.…”
