What is critical hydraulic gradient? mention it's significance
Question 3 (20 points): This morning an engineer made measurements in three observation wells belonging to an unconfined aquifer. Groundwater was found at the following depths: 10.0, 9.0, and 9.5 meters for wells A, B, and C, respectively. The hydraulic heads of the three measurement points are 150 (well A), 148 (well B) and 149 (well C) meters above sea level. If it is known that well A is located north of well B at a distance of 400 meters,...
A soil has an effective diameter of 0.36mm. At which hydraulic gradient does the flow start to become partly turbulent. Note: Use as transition Re=1.
1. In class I frequently mention that we are less concerned with the statistical significance of regression coefficients than a typical econometric exercise. In fact I might make mention of this once a week or more. (a) (5 points) In your own words explain why this is the case. (b) (5 points) Is there a substitute for this concept of significance that takes the place of significance of regression coefficients? Explain.
Hydraulic gradient line takes into consideration potential and kinetic heads only potential and pressure heads only kinetic and pressure heads only potential, kinetic and pressure heads 0000;
For the two cases shown compute: a) hydraulic gradient, b) true seepage velocity (in cm/s), and c) discharge or Darcy's velocity (in cm/s) if the soil permeability is 5 x 10 cm/s. 8 ( n=0.3 Elevation (ft) Datum

Vector Calculus Suppose the hydraulic head in a vertically homogeneous aquifer is described by the equation h(x,y) = 10+Oy in the domain -10sxs10, -10sys10, as plotted in Fig 1. -10 -10 5 5 0 0 5 5 10 10 Figure 1 Figure 2 2a. What is the equation for the gradient of this surface (i.e., Vh; note that this is opposite the direction of flow)? (4 pts) 2b. What is the gradient of h at (x=2, y=4)? If the homogeneous,...
Define critical temperature. What is the significance of critical temperature in the liquefaction of gases? Types of solutions and Delta H_soln What does "like dissolves like" mean? Explain why ethanol (C_2HSOH) is not soluble in cyclohexane (C_6H_12). Arrange these compounds in order of increasing solubility in water: O_2. LiCl, Br_2, CH_3O H (methanol). Explain the variations in solubility in water of the alcohols listed here (think about their polarity, what you were taught about ratios of C to O, and...
A groundwater extraction well is installed in an aquifer (hydraulic conductivity = 2,000 gpd/ft2, gradient = 0.01, and aquifer thickness = 50 ft). The design pumping rate is 60 gpm. Delineate the capture zone of this recovery well by specifying the following characteristic distances of the capture zone: A) the side-stream distance from the well to the envelop of the capture zone at the line of the pumping well, B) the down-stream distance from the well to stagnation point of...
