From Mass conservation:

\frac{d(\rho q)}{2 dx}=y_e h \phi \frac{d\rho}{dt} ( 1 )

From Darcy's law:

\frac{q}{2}=\frac{kA}{\mu}\ \frac{dP}{dx} ( 2 )
 A =y_e*h

( 2 ) →( 1 ):

\frac{d}{dx} \left ( \frac{\rho k y_e h}{\mu} \frac{dP}{dx} \right )=y_e h \phi \frac{d\rho}{dt} ( 3 )
\frac{d}{dx} \left ( \frac{k \rho}{\mu} \frac{dP}{dx} \right )=\phi \frac{d\rho}{dt} ( 4 )
c=\frac{1}{\rho} \frac{d \rho}{dP} ( 5 )

( 5 ) -> ( 4 ):

\frac{d}{dx} \left ( \frac{k \rho}{\mu} \frac{dP}{dx} \right )=\phi c \rho \frac{dP}{dt} ( 6 )
\frac{d}{dx} \left ( \frac{k}{\mu} \right ) \rho \frac{dP}{dx} + \frac{k}{\mu} \left ( \frac{d \rho}{dx} \right ) \frac{dP}{dx} + \frac{k \rho}{\mu} \frac{d^2P}{dx^2}=\phi c \rho \frac{dP}{dt} ( 7 )

Assumption that viscosity is constant cancels out first term in left hand side of (7):

\frac{k}{\mu} \left ( \frac{d \rho}{dx} \right ) \frac{dP}{dx} + \frac{k \rho}{\mu} \frac{d^2P}{dx^2}=\phi c \rho \frac{dP}{dt} ( 8 )
\frac{d \rho}{dx} = c \rho \frac{d P}{dx} ( 9 )

( 9 ) -> ( 8 ):

\frac{k}{\mu} c \rho \left ( \frac{dP}{dx} \right )^2+ \frac{k \rho}{\mu} \frac{d^2P}{dx^2}=\phi c \rho \frac{dP}{dt} ( 10 )

Term  \left ( \frac{dP}{dx} \right )^2 in (10) is second order of magnitude low and can be cancelled out, which yields:


\frac{d^2P}{dx^2}=\frac{\phi c \mu}{k} \frac{dP}{dt} ( 11 )
