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.

Citrus2011 [14]
Scientific notation is another way to write a number. In scientific notation, the letter E is used to mean "10 to the power of." For example, 1.314E+1 means 1.314 * 101 which is 13.14 . Scientific notation is merely a format used for input and output.

__________ affect(s) the amount of air conditioning required.
Grace [21]

Answer:

Option D

All the above

Explanation:

Depending with the number of occupants in a building, the number of air conditioners required can either be increased or reduced. For instance, if the building is to be a classroom of over 50 students, 1 air-conditioner can't serve effectively. Similarly, the activity of occupants also dictate the amount of air conditioners required since if it's a gym room where occupants exercise often then the air conditioners required is different from if the room was to serve as a  lounge. The appliances that also operate in a room require that air conditioners be installed as per the heat that may be generated by the appliances.
