Answer:

A. Air

Explanation:

A thermal insulator is a material that does not let the heat trasmitting through it, or it transmits heat not very efficiently.

Generally, the lower the density of the material, the better insulator the material is: this is because in materials with very low density, particles are very spread apart, so they cannot collide with each other, and so the vibrations of the particles (which determine how hot a substance is) cannot be transmitted very efficiently.

In the options listed in this problem, air is the material with lowest density, therefore it is the best thermal insulator among them.

An aquifer pump test was conducted in a confined aquifer where the initial piezometric surface was at elevation 12.45 m, and wel
murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

T = 0.0088 m²/s

Explanation:

given,

initial piezometric elevation = 12.5 m

thickness of aquifer = 14 m

discharge = 28.24 L/s = 0.02824 m³/s

we know                              

k = \dfrac{qln(\dfrac{R_2}{R_1})}{2\pi D(H_2-H_1)}

k = \dfrac{0.02824 \times ln(\dfrac{75}{25})}{2\pi \times 14 (11.45-10.89)}                                                                        

k = 0.629 mm/sec

Transmissibilty

T = k × H                          

T = 0.629 × 14 × 10⁻³

T = 0.0088 m²/s
