Brine flood in a 1.9-in-long and 1.5-in-diameter core plug from the North Sea resulted in a stabilized pressure drop of 46.05 psi. The flood was carried out at 0.05 mL/min with brine viscosity of 0.443 cP. Determine the absolute permeability of this plug in millidarcies. I'm not sure about which formula to use, and should I convert inches to cm?

A 12 inch diameter well was installed in an unconfined aquifer consisting of a 60 foot thick layer of sand. The water table was 15 feet below the ground surface before pumping of the well began. The well was then pumped at a rate of 30 gallons per minute and the water level in the well dropped to 45 feet below the ground surface after a steady-state condition was reached. The radius of well influence is 4000 feet. a) Calculate the permeability of the sand b) Compute and plot the drawdown surface

) A pumping test carried out in a 50 m thick confined aquifer resulted in a flow rate of 600l/min. The thickness of the impermeable layer above the aquifer is 20 m and the originalwater level in the well was 2 mm below the ground surface (which is also the top of theimpermeable layer).

Calculate:i) The coefficient of permeability of the aquifer, ii) The drawdown in the well, iii) The radius of influence. The diameter of the well is 0.6 m.
Problem 1: The required water flow rate in the 6 cm diameter 30 meter long circular pipe in the diagram above is 12 liters per second. The water temperature is 4 °C and the flow discharges into the atmosphere at a pressure of PB = 100 kPa. The flow is fully developed turbulent flow and there is no elevation change. The surface of the wall has become degraded due to pitting and deposits such that there is a surface roughness with a height of 0.5 mm. Find the following: a) The mean flow velocity in the pipe. b) The Reynolds number. c) The Darcy friction factor, ?. d) The pressure at the pump exit location, PA, required to achieve the specified flow rate.
