Question:
The question is not complete. See the complete question and the answer below.
A well that pumps at a constant rate of 0.5m3/s fully penetrates a confined aquifer of 34 m thickness. After a long period of pumping, near steady state conditions, the measured drawdowns at two observation wells 50m and 100m from the pumping well are 0.9 and 0.4 m respectively. (a) Calculate the hydraulic conductivity and transmissivity of the aquifer (b) estimate the radius of influence of the pumping well, and (c) calculate the expected drawdown in the pumping well if the radius of the well is 0.4m.
Answer:
T = 0.11029m²/sec
Radius of influence = 93.304m
expected drawdown = 3.9336m

Answer:
the highest rate of heat transfer allowed is 0.9306 kW
Explanation:
Given the data in the question;
Volume = 4L = 0.004 m³
V = V
= 0.002 m³
Using Table ( saturated water - pressure table);
at pressure p = 175 kPa;
v = 0.001057 m³/kg
v = 1.0037 m³/kg
u = 486.82 kJ/kg
u 2524.5 kJ/kg
h = 2700.2 kJ/kg
So the initial mass of the water;
m₁ = V/v
+ V
/v
we substitute
m₁ = 0.002/0.001057 + 0.002/1.0037
m₁ = 1.89414 kg
Now, the final mass will be;
m₂ = V/v
m₂ = 0.004 / 1.0037
m₂ = 0.003985 kg
Now, mass leaving the pressure cooker is;
m = m₁ - m₂
m = 1.89414 - 0.003985
m = 1.890155 kg
so, Initial internal energy will be;
U₁ = mu
+ m
u
U₁ = (V/v
)u
+ (V
/v
)u
we substitute
U₁ = (0.002/0.001057)(486.82) + (0.002/1.0037)(2524.5)
U₁ = 921.135288 + 5.030387
U₁ = 926.165675 kJ
Now, using Energy balance;
E - E
= ΔE
QΔt - mh
= m₂u₂ - U₁
QΔt - mh
= m₂u
- U₁
given that time = 75 min = 75 × 60s = 4500 sec
so we substitute
Q(4500) - ( 1.890155 × 2700.2 ) = ( 0.003985 × 2524.5 ) - 926.165675
Q(4500) - 5103.7965 = 10.06013 - 926.165675
Q(4500) = 10.06013 - 926.165675 + 5103.7965
Q(4500) = 4187.690955
Q = 4187.690955 / 4500
Q = 0.9306 kW
Therefore, the highest rate of heat transfer allowed is 0.9306 kW
