A constant-head permeability test gives the following information: - Water flows horizontally through the soil sample. - The hei
ght of the reservoir supply source is 2 m above the elevation of the outlet reservoir. - The soil sample length in the direction of flow is 200 mm. - The cross-sectional area of the soil sample is 1,950 mm2. - The measured volume of flow at steady state is 500 ml in 10 minutes. a) Sketch the arrangement of the set up for this type of measurement. b) Calculate the hydraulic conductivity. c) Which is the probable tested soil

Answer: The exit temperature of the gas in deg C is .
Explanation:
The given data is as follows.
= 1000 J/kg K, R = 500 J/kg K = 0.5 kJ/kg K (as 1 kJ = 1000 J)
= 100 kPa,
We know that for an ideal gas the mass flow rate will be calculated as follows.
or, m =
=
= 10 kg/s
Now, according to the steady flow energy equation:
= 5 K
= 5 K + 300 K
= 305 K
= (305 K - 273 K)
=
Therefore, we can conclude that the exit temperature of the gas in deg C is .
Solution :
Given :
The number of blows is given as :
0 - 6 inch = 4 blows
6 - 12 inch = 6 blows
12 - 18 inch = 6 blows
The vertical effective stress
Now,
corrected N - value of overburden
effective stress at level of test
0 - 6 inch,
= 9.86
6 - 12 inch,
= 14.8
12 - 18 inch,
= 14.8
= 13.14
= 13
