Specific Capacity given Discharge from Well Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Specific Capacity = Discharge/(Cross-Sectional Area*Constant Depression Head)
KA = Q/(A_cs*H)
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Specific Capacity - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Specific Capacity of an open well.
Discharge - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Second) - Discharge is the rate of flow of a liquid.
Cross-Sectional Area - (Measured in Square Meter) - Cross-Sectional Area is the area of a two-dimensional shape that is obtained when a three-dimensional shape is sliced perpendicular to some specified axis at a point.
Constant Depression Head - Constant depression head in the well.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Discharge: 1.01 Cubic Meter per Second --> 1.01 Cubic Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Cross-Sectional Area: 13 Square Meter --> 13 Square Meter No Conversion Required
Constant Depression Head: 0.038 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

KA = Q/(A_cs*H) --> 1.01/(13*0.038)

Evaluating ... ...

KA = 2.04453441295547

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

2.04453441295547 Meter per Second -->7360.32388663968 Meter per Hour (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

7360.32388663968 ≈ 7360.324 Meter per Hour <-- Specific Capacity

(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)
