A sand deposit contains three distinct horizontal layers of equal thickness. The hydraulic conductivity of the upper and lower l

ayers is 10-3 cm/sec and that of the middle is 10-2 cm/sec. What are the equivalent values of the horizontal and vertical hydraulic conductivities of the three layers, and What is their ratio?

Answer:

Kh/Kv =  2.8

Explanation:

The horizontal conductivity = K1H1+K2H2+K3H3/(H1+H2+H3)

= K1H+K2H+K3H/3H

= K1+K2+K3/3

= 10-3 cm/sec + 10-3 cm/sec + 10-2 cm/sec/3

= 4 * 10^-3 cm/s

Vertical conductivity

= H+H+H/(H/K1 +H/K2+H/K3)

= 3/(1/K1+1/K2+1/K3)

= 1/700 cm/s

Kh/Kv = 4 * 10^-3 cm/s/ 1/700 cm/s

Kh/Kv =  2.8

qwelly [4]

Answer:

See explaination and attachment.

Explanation:

Iteration method is a repetitive method applied until the desired result is achieved.

Let the given equation be f(x) = 0 and the value of x to be determined. By using the Iteration method you can find the roots of the equation. To find the root of the equation first we have to write equation like below

x = pi(x)

Let x=x0 be an initial approximation of the required root α then the first approximation x1 is given by x1 = pi(x0).

Similarly for second, thrid and so on. approximation

x2 = pi(x1)

x3 = pi(x2)

x4 = pi(x3)

xn = pi(xn-1).

please go to attachment for the step by step solution.

The total floor area of a building, including below-grade space but excluding unenclosed areas, measured from the exterior of th
alex41 [277]

Answer:

Gross building area

Explanation:

The Gross building area refers to the entire area of a building covering all the floors. The measurement is expressed in square feet. The Gross building area also includes basements, penthouses, and mezzanines. It is calculated by estimating the exterior dimension of the building. Storage rooms, laundries, staircases are also a part of the gross building area.

A small lake with volume of 160,000 m^3 receives agricultural drainage waters that contain 150 mg / L total dissolved solids (TD
Stels [109]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that : -

The desirable limit is 500 mg / l , but

allowable upto 2000 mg / l.

The take volume is V = 160.000 m3

V = 160 , 000 x 103 l

The crainage gives 150 mg / l and lake has initialy 100 mg / l

Code of tpr frpm drawn = 150 x 60, 000 x 1000

Ci = 9000 kg / gr

Cl = 100 x 160,000 x 1000

Cl = 16, 000 kg

Since allowable limit = 2000 mg / l

Cn = ( 2000 x 160, 00 x 1000 )

= 320, 000 kg

so, each year the rate increases, by 9000 kg / yr

Read level = ( 320, 000 - 16,000 )

Li = 304, 000 kg

Tr=<u>304,000</u>

A welding rod with κ = 30 (Btu/hr)/(ft ⋅ °F) is 20 cm long and has a diameter of 4 mm. The two ends of the rod are held at 500 °
SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

In Btu:

Q=0.001390 Btu.

In Joule:

Q=1.467 J

Part B:

Temperature at midpoint=274.866 C

Explanation:

Thermal Conductivity=k=30  (Btu/hr)/(ft ⋅ °F)= \frac{30}{3600} (Btu/s)/(ft.F)=8.33*10^{-3}  (Btu/s)/(ft.F)

Thermal Conductivity is SI units:

k=30(Btu/hr)/(ft.F) * \frac{1055.06}{3600*0.3048*0.556} \\k=51.88 W/m.K

Length=20 cm=0.2 m= (20*0.0328) ft=0.656 ft

Radius=4/2=2 mm =0.002 m=(0.002*3.28)ft=0.00656 ft

T_1=500 C=932 F

T_2=50 C= 122 F

Part A:

In Joules (J)

A=\pi *r^2\\A=\pi *(0.002)^2\\A=0.00001256 m^2

Heat Q is:

Q=\frac{k*A*(T_1-T_2)}{L} \\Q=\frac{51.88*0.000012566*(500-50}{0.2}\\ Q=1.467 J

In Btu:

A=\pi *r^2\\A=\pi *(0.00656)^2\\A=0.00013519 m^2

Heat Q is:

Q=\frac{k*A*(T_1-T_2)}{L} \\Q=\frac{8.33*10^{-3}*0.00013519*(932-122}{0.656}\\ Q=0.001390 Btu

PArt B:

At midpoint Length=L/2=0.1 m

Q=\frac{k*A*(T_1-T_2)}{L}

On rearranging:

T_2=T_1-\frac{Q*L}{KA}

T_2=500-\frac{1.467*0.1}{51.88*0.00001256} \\T_2=274.866\ C

3. (a) (5 points) Suppose N packets arrive simultaneously to a link at which no packets are currently being transmitted or queue
Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

(N-1) × (L/2R) = (N-1)/2

Explanation:

let L is length of packet

R is rate

N is number of packets

then

first packet arrived with 0 delay

Second packet arrived at = L/R

Third packet arrived at = 2L/R

Nth packet arrived at = (n-1)L/R

Total queuing delay = L/R + 2L/R + ... + (n - 1)L/R = L(n - 1)/2R

Now

L / R = (1000) / (10^6 ) s = 1 ms

L/2R = 0.5 ms

average queuing delay for N packets = (N-1) * (L/2R) = (N-1)/2

the average queuing delay of a packet = 0 ( put N=1)
