An aquifer has three different formations. Formation A has a thickness of 8.0 m and hydraulic conductivity of 25.0 m/d. Formatio

n B has a thickness of 2.0 m and a conductivity of 142 m/d. Formation C has a thickness of 34 m and a conductivity of 40 m/d. Assume that each formation is isotropic and homogeneous. Compute both the overall horizontal and vertical conductivities.

Answer:

The horizontal conductivity is 41.9 m/d.

The vertical conductivity is 37.2 m/d.

Explanation:

Given that,

Thickness of A = 8.0 m

Conductivity = 25.0 m/d

Thickness of B = 2.0 m

Conductivity = 142 m/d

Thickness of C = 34 m

Conductivity = 40 m/d

We need to calculate the horizontal conductivity

Using formula of horizontal conductivity

$K_{H}=\dfrac{H_{A}K_{A}+H_{A}K_{A}+H_{A}K_{A}}{H_{A}+H_{B}+H_{C}}$

Put the value into the formula

$K_{H}=\dfrac{8.0\times25+2,0\times142+34\times40}{8.0+2.0+34}$

$K_{H}=41.9\ m/d$

We need to calculate the vertical conductivity

Using formula of vertical conductivity

$K_{V}=\dfrac{H_{A}+H_{B}+H_{C}}{\dfrac{H_{A}}{K_{A}}+\dfrac{H_{B}}{K_{B}}+\dfrac{H_{C}}{K_{C}}}$

Put the value into the formula

$K_{V}=\dfrac{8.0+2.0+34}{\dfrac{8.0}{25}+\dfrac{2.0}{142}+\dfrac{34}{40}}$

$K_{V}=37.2\ m/d$

Hence, The horizontal conductivity is 41.9 m/d.

The vertical conductivity is 37.2 m/d.

Let <em>f(z)</em> = (4<em>z </em>² + 2<em>z</em>) / (2<em>z </em>² - 3<em>z</em> + 1).

First, carry out the division:

<em>f(z)</em> = 2 + (8<em>z</em> - 2) / (2<em>z </em>² - 3<em>z</em> + 1)

Observe that

2<em>z </em>² - 3<em>z</em> + 1 = (2<em>z</em> - 1) (<em>z</em> - 1)

so you can separate the rational part of <em>f(z)</em> into partial fractions. We have

(8<em>z</em> - 2) / (2<em>z </em>² - 3<em>z</em> + 1) = <em>a</em> / (2<em>z</em> - 1) + <em>b</em> / (<em>z</em> - 1)

8<em>z</em> - 2 = <em>a</em> (<em>z</em> - 1) + <em>b</em> (2<em>z</em> - 1)

8<em>z</em> - 2 = (<em>a</em> + 2<em>b</em>) <em>z</em> - (<em>a</em> + <em>b</em>)

so that <em>a</em> + 2<em>b</em> = 8 and <em>a</em> + <em>b</em> = 2, yielding <em>a</em> = -4 and <em>b</em> = 6.

So we have

<em>f(z)</em> = 2 - 4 / (2<em>z</em> - 1) + 6 / (<em>z</em> - 1)

or

<em>f(z)</em> = 2 - (2/<em>z</em>) (1 / (1 - 1/(2<em>z</em>))) + (6/<em>z</em>) (1 / (1 - 1/<em>z</em>))

Recall that for |<em>z</em>| < 1, we have

$\displaystyle\frac1{1-z}=\sum_{n=0}^\infty z^n$

Replace <em>z</em> with 1/<em>z</em> to get

$\displaystyle\frac1{1-\frac1z}=\sum_{n=0}^\infty z^{-n}$

so that by substitution, we can write

$\displaystyle f(z) = 2 - \frac2z \sum_{n=0}^\infty (2z)^{-n} + \frac6z \sum_{n=0}^\infty z^{-n}$

Now condense <em>f(z)</em> into one series:

$\displaystyle f(z) = 2 - \sum_{n=0}^\infty 2^{-n+1} z^{-(n+1)} + 6 \sum_{n=0}^\infty z^{-n-1}$

$\displaystyle f(z) = 2 - \sum_{n=0}^\infty \left(6+2^{-n+1}\right) z^{-(n+1)}$

$\displaystyle f(z) = 2 - \sum_{n=1}^\infty \left(6+2^{-(n-1)+1}\right) z^{-n}$

$\displaystyle f(z) = 2 - \sum_{n=1}^\infty \left(6+2^{2-n}\right) z^{-n}$

So, the inverse <em>Z</em> transform of <em>f(z)</em> is $\boxed{6+2^{2-n}}$ .

A binary geothermal power plant uses geothermal water at 160°C as the heat source. The cycle operates on the simple Rankine cycl

bogdanovich [222]

A binary geothermal power operates on the simple Rankine cycle with isobutane as the working fluid. The isentropic efficiency of the turbine, the net power output, and the thermal efficiency of the cycle are to be determined

Assumptions :

1. Steady operating conditions exist.

2. Kinetic and potential energy changes are negligible.

Properties: The specific heat of geothermal water ( $c_{geo}$ [) is taken to be 4.18 kJ/kg.ºC.

Analysis (a) We need properties of isobutane, we can obtain the properties from EES.

a. Turbine

P $P_{3} = 3.25mPa = (3.25*1000) kPa\\= 3250kPa\\from the EES TABLE\\h_{3} = 761.54 kJ/kg\\s_{3} = 2.5457 kJ/kg\\P_{4} = 410kPa\\\\s_{4} = s_{3} \\h_{4s} = 470.40kJ/kg\\\\T_{4} = 179.5^{0} C\\\\h_{4} = 689.74 kJ/KG\\\\ The isentropic efficiency, n_{T} = \frac{h_{3}-h_{4} }{h_{3}- h_{4s} }$

= $=\frac{761.54-689.74}{761.54-670.40} \\=\frac{71.8}{91.14} \\=0.788$

b. Pump

$h_{1} = h_{f} @ 410kPa = 273.01kJ/kg\\v_{1} = v_{f} @ 410kPa = 0.001842 m^{3}/kgw_{p,in} = \frac{v_{1}(P_{2}-P_{1}) }{n_{p} } \\\\= \frac{0.01842(3250-410)}{0.9} \\\\ =5.81kJ/kg\\h_{2} =h_{1} + w_{p,in}\\ = 273.01+5.81\\ = 278.82 kJ/kg\\\\w_{T,out} = m^{.} (h_{3} -h_{4} )\\=(305.6)(761.54-689.74)\\=305.6(71.8)\\=21,942kW\\\\$

$W^{.} _ {P,in} = m^{.} (h_{2} -h_{1}) \\=m^{.} w_{p,in \\=305.6(5.81)\\\\=1,777kW\\W^{.} _{net} = W^{.} _{T, out} - W^{.} _{P,in} \\= 21,942-1,777\\=20,166 kW\\\\HEAT EXCHANGER\\\\Q_{in} = m^{.} _{geo} c_{geo} (T_{in-T_{out} } )\\=555.9(4.18)(160-90)\\=162.656kW\\$

c. $The thermal efficiency of the cycle n_{th} =\frac{W^{.} _{net} }{Q^{._{in} } } \\\\= \frac{20,166}{162,656} \\=0.124\\=12.4%$
