Volume Percent of Porosity Specific Yield and Specific Retention

Go Volume Percent of Porosity = Specific Yield Percentage+Specific Retention Percentage

Specific Retention given Porosity

Go Specific Retention Percentage = Volume Percent of Porosity-Specific Yield Percentage

Specific Yield given Porosity

Go Specific Yield Percentage = Volume Percent of Porosity-Specific Retention Percentage

Volume of Water Drained by Gravity given Specific Yield

Go Volume of water drained by gravity = (Specific Yield Percentage*Total Volume)/100

Specific Yield given Total Volume

Go Specific Yield Percentage = (Volume of water drained by gravity/Total Volume)*100

Total Volume given Specific Yield

Go Total Volume = (Volume of water drained by gravity/Specific Yield Percentage)*100

Volume of Water Retained given Specific Retention

Go Volume of Water retained = (Total Volume*Specific Retention Percentage)/100

Specific Retention given Total Volume

Go Specific Retention Percentage = (Volume of Water retained/Total Volume)*100

Total Volume given Specific Retention

Go Total Volume = (Volume of Water retained/Specific Retention Percentage)*100

Volume Percent of Porosity Specific Yield and Specific Retention Formula

Volume Percent of Porosity = Specific Yield Percentage+Specific Retention Percentage
η_v = %S_y+%S_r

What is Porosity ?

Porosity or void fraction is a measure of the void (i.e. "empty") spaces in a material, and is a fraction of the volume of voids over the total volume, between 0 and 1, or as a percentage between 0% and 100%.

How to Calculate Volume Percent of Porosity Specific Yield and Specific Retention?

Volume Percent of Porosity Specific Yield and Specific Retention calculator uses Volume Percent of Porosity = Specific Yield Percentage+Specific Retention Percentage to calculate the Volume Percent of Porosity, The Volume Percent of Porosity Specific Yield and Specific Retention is defined as an intrinsic property of every material. It refers to the amount of empty space within a given material. In soil or rock, porosity (empty space) exists between the grains of minerals. Volume Percent of Porosity is denoted by η_v symbol.

How to calculate Volume Percent of Porosity Specific Yield and Specific Retention using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Volume Percent of Porosity Specific Yield and Specific Retention, enter Specific Yield Percentage (%S_y) & Specific Retention Percentage (%S_r) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Volume Percent of Porosity Specific Yield and Specific Retention calculation can be explained with given input values -> 25 = 15+10.

FAQ

What is Volume Percent of Porosity Specific Yield and Specific Retention?

The Volume Percent of Porosity Specific Yield and Specific Retention is defined as an intrinsic property of every material. It refers to the amount of empty space within a given material. In soil or rock, porosity (empty space) exists between the grains of minerals and is represented as η_v = %S_y+%S_r or Volume Percent of Porosity = Specific Yield Percentage+Specific Retention Percentage. Specific Yield Percentage (in %) tells how much water is available for Consumptive use & Specific Retention Percentage (in %) tells how much water remains in the rock after it is drained by gravity.
