Specific Capacity given Aquifer Loss Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Specific Capacity = (Discharge/(Head Loss in well+Aquifer loss))
S_c = (Q/(CQⁿ+BQ))
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Specific Capacity - (Measured in Square Meter per Second) - Specific Capacity is the quantity that which a water well can produce per unit of drawdown.
Discharge - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Second) - Discharge is the rate of flow of a liquid.
Head Loss in well - (Measured in Meter) - The Head Loss in well is essentially the difference between the head of the aquifer immediately outside and in the well a head inside because of all these losses.
Aquifer loss - (Measured in Meter) - Aquifer loss is product of discharge and aquifer loss coefficient.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Discharge: 1.01 Cubic Meter per Second --> 1.01 Cubic Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Head Loss in well: 0.091 Meter --> 0.091 Meter No Conversion Required
Aquifer loss: 27.13 Meter --> 27.13 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

S_c = (Q/(CQⁿ+BQ)) --> (1.01/(0.091+27.13))

Evaluating ... ...

S_c = 0.0371037066970354

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.0371037066970354 Square Meter per Second --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.0371037066970354 ≈ 0.037104 Square Meter per Second <-- Specific Capacity

Aquifer Loss Coefficient given Specific Capacity

Go Aquifer Loss Coefficient = ((Discharge/Specific Capacity)-Head Loss in well)/Discharge

Specific Capacity given Aquifer Loss

Go Specific Capacity = (Discharge/(Head Loss in well+Aquifer loss))

Well Discharge given Specific Capacity

Go Discharge = Specific Capacity*(Head Loss in well+Aquifer loss)

Aquifer Loss given Specific Capacity

Go Aquifer loss = (Discharge/Specific Capacity)-Head Loss in well

Drawdown given Specific Capacity of Well

Go Total Drawdown in Well = Discharge/Specific Capacity

Discharge given Specific Capacity

Go Discharge = Specific Capacity*Total Drawdown in Well

Specific Capacity given Drawdown

Go Specific Capacity = Discharge/Total Drawdown in Well

Specific Capacity given Aquifer Loss Formula

Specific Capacity = (Discharge/(Head Loss in well+Aquifer loss))
S_c = (Q/(CQⁿ+BQ))
