A confined aquifer with a porosity of 0.15 is 30 m thick. The potentiometric surface elevation at two observation wells 1000 m a

part are 52.35 m and 50.90 m. If the horizontal hydraulic conductivity of the aquifer is 25 m/day. Determine the flow rate per unit width of the aquifer, specific discharge, and average linear velocity of the flow assuming steady unidirectional flow. How long would it take for a tracer to travel the distance between the observation wells?

Answer:

Part (a) The flow rate per unit width of the aquifer is 1.0875 m³/day

Part (b) The specific discharge of the flow is 0.0363 m/day

Part (c) The average linear velocity of the flow is 0.242 m/day

Part (d) The time taken for a tracer to travel the distance between the observation wells is 4132.23 days = 99173.52 hours

Explanation:

Part (a) the flow rate per unit width of the aquifer

From Darcy's law;

q = -Kb\frac{dh}{dl}

where;

q is the flow rate

K is the permeability or conductivity of the aquifer = 25  m/day

b is the aquifer thickness

dh is the change in th vertical hight = 50.9m - 52.35m = -1.45 m

dl is the change in the horizontal hight = 1000 m

q = -(25*30)*(-1.45/1000)

q = 1.0875 m³/day

Part (b) the specific discharge of the flow

V = \frac{Q}{A} = \frac{q}{b} = -K\frac{dh}{dl}\\\\V = -(25 m/d).(\frac{-1.45 m}{1000 m}) = 0.0363 m/day

V = 0.0363 m/day

Part (c) the average linear velocity of the flow assuming steady unidirectional flow

Va = V/Φ

Φ is the porosity = 0.15

Va = 0.0363 / 0.15

Va = 0.242 m/day

Part (d) the time taken for a tracer to travel the distance between the observation wells

The distance between the two wells = 1000 m

average linear velocity = 0.242 m/day

Time = distance / speed

Time = (1000 m) / (0.242 m/day)

Time = 4132.23 days

        = 4132.23 days *\frac{24 .hrs}{1.day} = 99173.52, hours

The first law of thermodynamics states the conservation of energy and heat where the total energy in an isolated system may be transformed into another, but never created or destroyed. If 286 J of energy was released to the room, then also 286 J of energy was also removed from food in that refrigerator assuming it is an isolated system.   :)

lions [1.4K]

Answer:

b.  \Delta KE = 390 eV

Explanation:

As we know that the electric field due to infinite line charge is given as

E =\frac{\lambda}{2\pi \epsilon_0 r}

here we can find potential difference between two points using the relation

\Delta V = \int E.dr

now we have

\Delta V = \int(\frac{\lambda}{2\pi \epsilon_0 r}).dr

now we have

\Delta V = \frac{\lambda}{2\pi \epsilon_0}ln(\frac{r_2}{r_1})

now plug in all values in it

\Delta V = \frac{12\times 10^{-9}}{2\pi \epsilon_0}ln(\frac{1+5}{1})

\Delta V = 216ln6 = 387 V

now we know by energy conservation

\Delta KE = q\Delta V

\Delta KE = (e)(387V) = 387 eV

If a car accelerates from rest at a constant 4 m/s
Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

The time it will take for the car to reach a velocity of 28 m/s is 7 seconds

Explanation:

The parameters of the car are;

The acceleration of the car, a = 4 m/s²

The final velocity of the car, v = 28 m/s

The initial velocity of the car, u = 0 m/s (The car starts from rest)

The kinematic equation that can be used for finding (the time) how long it will take for the car to reach a velocity of 28 m/s is given as follows;

v = u + a·t

Where;

v = The final velocity of the car, v = 28 m/s

u = The initial velocity of the car = 0 m/s

a = The acceleration of the car = 4 m/s²

t = =The time it will take for the car to reach a velocity of 28 m/s

Therefore, we get;

t = (v - u)/a

t = (28 m/s - 0 m/s)/(4 m/s²) = 7 s

The time it will take for the car to reach a velocity of 28 m/s, t = 7 seconds.
