A well pumps at 400 L/s from a confined aquifer whose thickness is 24 m. If the drawdown 50 m from the well is 1 m and the drawd

own 100 m from the well is 0.5 m, then calculate the hydraulic conductivity and transmissivity of the aquifer. Do you expect the drawdowns at 50 m and 100 m from the well to approach a steady state? Explain your answer. If the radius of the pumping well is 0.5 m and the drawdown at the pumping well is measured as 4 m, then calculated the radial distance to where the drawdown is equal to zero. Why is the state-state drawdown equation not valid beyond this distance?

Answer:

the calculations and their justification are found in the explanation section.

Explanation:

The average transmissivity is

T=\frac{Q_{w} }{2\pi (s_{1}-s_{2} ) } ln(\frac{r_{2} }{r_{1} } )

Qw = pumping rate = 400 L/s = 400000 m³/s

s₁ = drawdown of the well = 1 m

s₂ = 0.5 m

r₁ = piezometric level = 50 m

r₂ = 100 m

Replacing values

T=\frac{400000}{2\pi (1-0.5)} ln(\frac{100}{50} )=88254.24m^{2} /s

the hydraulic conductivity is

K=\frac{T}{b}

b = thickness = 24 m

Replacing

K=\frac{88254.24}{24} =3677.26m/s

no steady state for this drawdown.

The radial distance is

s=s_{w} -\frac{Q_{w} }{2\pi T} ln(\frac{r}{r_{w} } )

here

sw = 4 m = drawdown at the pumping well

s =drawdown of the radial distance = 0

rw = radius of the pumping well = 0.5

Clearing r

0=4-\frac{400000}{2\pi *88254.24 } ln(\frac{r}{0.5} )\\4=0.721(lnr+ln0.5)\\r=exp(\frac{3.5}{0.721} )=128.3m

It can be said that the steady state reduction is not valid at a distance beyond that calculated because the reduction would become negative.

Which crystal system(s) listed below has (have) the following relationship for the unit cell edge lengths?
lianna [129]

Answer:

Both B and G ( Hexagonal and Tetragonal )

Explanation:

The crystals system listed below has the following relationship for the unit cell edge lengths; a = b ≠ c ( hexagonal and Tetragonal )

hexagonal ; represents  a crystal system  which has three equal axes that have an angle of 60⁰ between them while Tetragonal denotes crystals that have  three axes which have only two of its axes equal in length.
