Aquifer thickness when transmissivity of aquifer is considered Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Aquifer Thickness = Transmissivity/Equivalent Permeability
b = τ/K_e
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Aquifer Thickness - (Measured in Meter) - Aquifer Thickness (at Midpoint between Equipotential lines) or otherwise is the thickness of aquifer in which the pore spaces of rock forming the aquifer may or may not be with water.
Transmissivity - (Measured in Square Meter per Second) - Transmissivity describes the ability of the to transmit groundwater throughout its entire saturated thickness.
Equivalent Permeability - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Equivalent Permeability is defined when the flow the flow is parallel to stratification.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Transmissivity: 1.4 Square Meter per Second --> 1.4 Square Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Equivalent Permeability: 4 Centimeter per Second --> 0.04 Meter per Second (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

b = τ/K_e --> 1.4/0.04

Evaluating ... ...

b = 35

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

35 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

35 Meter <-- Aquifer Thickness

(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)

Transmissibility when Coefficient of Permeability is Considered

Go Transmissivity = Coefficient of Permeability at the temperature*Aquifer Thickness

Unit dimension of aquifer about transmissivity

Go Aquifer Thickness = Transmissivity/Coefficient of Permeability at the temperature

Transmissivity of aquifer when equivalent permeability is considered

Go Transmissivity = Equivalent Permeability*Aquifer Thickness

Aquifer thickness when transmissivity of aquifer is considered

Go Aquifer Thickness = Transmissivity/Equivalent Permeability

Aquifer thickness when transmissivity of aquifer is considered Formula

Aquifer Thickness = Transmissivity/Equivalent Permeability
b = τ/K_e
