Dollimore-Heal Adsorption
The calculations for the Dollimore-Heal reports are the same as those for BJH, except for the calcula-
tion of average pore diameter and pore length.
Pore Diameter
Pore diameter is determined from the Kelvin radius and thickness equation:
The average pore diameter is the arithmetic mean of the diameters that bound the interval.
