Well Loss given Specific Capacity Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary
Formula Used
Head Loss in well = (Discharge/Specific Capacity)-Aquifer loss
CQn = (Q/Sc)-BQ
This formula uses 4 Variables
Variables Used
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.
Discharge - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Second) - Discharge is the rate of flow of a liquid.
Specific Capacity - (Measured in Square Meter per Second) - Specific Capacity is the quantity that which a water well can produce per unit of drawdown.
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
Specific Capacity: 0.037 Square Meter per Second --> 0.037 Square Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Aquifer loss: 27.13 Meter --> 27.13 Meter No Conversion Required
STEP 2: Evaluate Formula
Substituting Input Values in Formula
CQn = (Q/Sc)-BQ --> (1.01/0.037)-27.13
Evaluating ... ...
CQn = 0.167297297297299
STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit
0.167297297297299 Meter --> No Conversion Required
FINAL ANSWER
0.167297297297299 0.167297 Meter <-- Head Loss in well
(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)

2 Well Loss Calculators

Well Loss given Specific Capacity
Go Head Loss in well = (Discharge/Specific Capacity)-Aquifer loss
Well Loss given Drawdown
Go Head Loss in well = Total Drawdown in Well-Aquifer loss

Well Loss given Specific Capacity Formula

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

What is Well Loss?

When water is pumped out of a well, the total drawdown caused includes not only that of the logarithmic drawdown curve at the well face, but also drawdown caused by flow through well screen and axial movement within the well. The latter drawdown is called well loss.

How to Calculate Well Loss given Specific Capacity?

Well Loss given Specific Capacity calculator uses Head Loss in well = (Discharge/Specific Capacity)-Aquifer loss to calculate the Head Loss in well, The Well Loss given Specific Capacity is defined as the value of well loss when we have prior information of other parameters used. Head Loss in well is denoted by CQn symbol.

How to calculate Well Loss given Specific Capacity using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Well Loss given Specific Capacity, enter Discharge (Q), Specific Capacity (Sc) & Aquifer loss (BQ) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Well Loss given Specific Capacity calculation can be explained with given input values -> -1.232703 = (1.01/0.037)-27.13.

FAQ

What is Well Loss given Specific Capacity?
The Well Loss given Specific Capacity is defined as the value of well loss when we have prior information of other parameters used and is represented as CQn = (Q/Sc)-BQ or Head Loss in well = (Discharge/Specific Capacity)-Aquifer loss. Discharge is the rate of flow of a liquid, Specific Capacity is the quantity that which a water well can produce per unit of drawdown & Aquifer loss is product of discharge and aquifer loss coefficient.
How to calculate Well Loss given Specific Capacity?
The Well Loss given Specific Capacity is defined as the value of well loss when we have prior information of other parameters used is calculated using Head Loss in well = (Discharge/Specific Capacity)-Aquifer loss. To calculate Well Loss given Specific Capacity, you need Discharge (Q), Specific Capacity (Sc) & Aquifer loss (BQ). With our tool, you need to enter the respective value for Discharge, Specific Capacity & Aquifer loss and hit the calculate button. You can also select the units (if any) for Input(s) and the Output as well.
How many ways are there to calculate Head Loss in well?
In this formula, Head Loss in well uses Discharge, Specific Capacity & Aquifer loss. We can use 1 other way(s) to calculate the same, which is/are as follows -
  • Head Loss in well = Total Drawdown in Well-Aquifer loss
