AB - This study presents an alternative form of the Darcy equation. This  alternative form will be presented with the use of Bejan number (Be) in the  Left Hand Side (LHS) of the equation. The main advantage in this alternative  form of the Darcy equation is presenting both the Left Hand Side (LHS) and  the Right Hand Side (RHS) as dimensionless quantities. For instance, this is  similar to the relation of Fanning friction factor with Reynolds number for  Hagen-Poiseuille flow (fully developed laminar flow in a circular pipe).
