Two piezometers have been placed along the direction of flow in a confined aquifer that is 30.0 m thick. The piezometers are 280

m apart. The difference in piezometric head between the two is 1.4 m. The aquifer hydraulic conductivity is 50 m · day−1, and the porosity is 20%. Estimate the travel time for water to flow between the two piezometers.

Answer:

time = 224 days

Explanation:

given data

thick = 30 m

piezometers = 280 m

head between two = 1.4 m

aquifer hydraulic conductivity = 50 m

porosity = 20%

solution

we get here average pole velocity that is get by using Darcy law that is

Va = $\frac{k}{\eta } \times \frac{\Delta h}{L}$ ................1

here Va is average pole velocity and k is hydraulic conductivity and $\eta$ is porosity

here v is = $k \times \frac{dh}{dl}$ ...........2

v = 50 × $\frac{1.4}{280}$

v = 0.25 m/day

and here average linear velocity Va will be

Va = $\frac{v}{\eta }$

Va = $\frac{0.25}{0.2}$

Va = 1.25 m/day

travel time for water will be

time = $\frac{280}{1.25}$

time = 224 days

Answer:

The correct response is "821.88". A further explanation is given below.

Explanation:

According to the question,

The largest amount unresolved after five years would have been:

= $35000\times (\frac{F}{P}, 4 \ percent,5 )$

= $35000\times 1.216 7$

= $42584.50$

Now,

time (t) will be:

= $5\times 12$

= $60 \ monthly \ payments$

So, monthly payment will be:

= $42582.85\times (\frac{A}{P}, 0.5 \ percent,60 )$

= $42584.50\times 0.0193$

= $821.88$

At a point on the free surface of a stressed body, the normal stresses are 20 ksi (T) on a vertical plane and 30 ksi (C) on a ho

victus00 [196]

Answer:

The principal stresses are σp1 = 27 ksi, σp2 = -37 ksi and the shear stress is zero

Explanation:

The expression for the maximum shear stress is given:

$\tau _{M} =\sqrt{(\frac{\sigma _{x}^{2}-\sigma _{y}^{2} }{2})^{2}+\tau _{xy}^{2} }$

Where

σx = stress in vertical plane = 20 ksi

σy = stress in horizontal plane = -30 ksi

τM = 32 ksi

Replacing:

$32=\sqrt{(\frac{20-(-30)}{2} )^{2} +\tau _{xy}^{2} }$

Solving for τxy:

τxy = ±19.98 ksi

The principal stress is:

$\sigma _{x}+\sigma _{y} =\sigma _{p1}+\sigma _{p2}$

Where

σp1 = 20 ksi

σp2 = -30 ksi

$\sigma _{p1} +\sigma _{p2}=-10 ksi$ (equation 1)

$\tau _{M} =\frac{\sigma _{p1}-\sigma _{p2}}{2} \\\sigma _{p1}-\sigma _{p2}=2\tau _{M}\\\sigma _{p1}-\sigma _{p2}=32*2=64ksi$ equation 2

Solving both equations:

σp1 = 27 ksi

σp2 = -37 ksi

The shear stress on the vertical plane is zero

Consider the expansion of a gas at a constant temperature in a water-cooled piston-cylinder system. The constant temperature is

Leona [35]

Answer:

$Q_{in} = W_{out} = nRT ln (\frac{V_{2}}{V_{1}})$

Explanation:

According to the first thermodynamic law, the energy must be conserved so:

$dQ = dU - dW$

Where Q is the heat transmitted to the system, U is the internal energy and W is the work done by the system.

This equation can be solved by integration between an initial and a final state:

(1) $\int\limits^1_2 {} \, dQ = \int\limits^1_2 {} \, dU - \int\limits^1_2 {} \, dW$

As per work definition:

$dW = F*dr$

For pressure the force F equials the pressure multiplied by the area of the piston, and considering dx as the displacement:

$dW = PA*dx$

Here A*dx equals the differential volume of the piston, and considering that any increment in volume is a work done by the system, the sign is negative, so:

$dW = - P*dV$

So the third integral in equation (1) is:

$\int\limits^1_2 {- P} \, dV$

Considering the gas as ideal, the pressure can be calculated as $P = \frac{n*R*T}{V}$ , so:

$\int\limits^1_2 {- P} \, dV = \int\limits^1_2 {- \frac{n*R*T}{V}} \, dV$

In this particular case as the systems is closed and the temperature constant, n, R and T are constants:

$\int\limits^1_2 {- \frac{n*R*T}{V}} \, dV = -nRT \int\limits^1_2 {\frac{1}{V}} \, dV$

Replacion this and solving equation (1) between state 1 and 2:

$\int\limits^1_2 {} \, dQ = \int\limits^1_2 {} \, dU + nRT \int\limits^1_2 {\frac{1}{V}} \, dV$

$Q_{2} - Q_{1} = U_{2} - U_{1} + nRT(ln V_{2} - ln V_{1})$

$Q_{2} - Q_{1} = U_{2} - U_{1} + nRT ln \frac{V_{2}}{V_{1}}$

The internal energy depends only on the temperature of the gas, so there is no internal energy change $U_{2} - U_{1} = 0$ , so the heat exchanged to the system equals the work done by the system:

$Q_{in} = W_{out} = nRT ln (\frac{V_{2}}{V_{1}})$

A sheet of steel 3-mm thick has nitrogen atomospheres on both sides at 900 C and is permitted to achieve a steady-state di usion

kati45 [8]

Answer:

$X_B = 1.8 \times 10^{-3} m = 1.8 mm$

Explanation:

Given data:

Diffusion constant for nitrogen is $= 1.85\times 10^{-10} m^2/s$

Diffusion flux $= 1.0\times 10^{-7} kg/m^2-s$

concentration of nitrogen at high presuure = 2 kg/m^3

location on which nitrogen concentration is 0.5 kg/m^3 ......?

from fick's first law

$J = D \frac{C_A C_B}{X_A X_B}$

Take C_A as point on which nitrogen concentration is 2 kg/m^3

$x_B = X_A + D\frac{C_A -C_B}{J}$

Assume X_A is zero at the surface

$X_B = 0 + ( 12\times 10^{-11} ) \frac{2-0.5}{1\times 10^{-7}}$

$X_B = 1.8 \times 10^{-3} m = 1.8 mm$
