A permeameter is 50 cm long with a cross section area of 10 cm. A head difference of 1 meter is applied across the two ends of the permeameter and the corresponding flow rate is 0.06 liters per minute.(a) What is the hydraulic conductivity of material (assuming freshwater properties).(b) Oil, with a viscosity of 0.005 Pa-s, is five times more viscous than water. If oil is used but all other conditions are the same, what is the change of flow rate?(c) What is the intrinsic permeability of the material? (You may approximate g as 10 m/s2)
(d) A tracer injected at one end of the permeameter travels at five times the Darcy velocity. What is the material porosity?
The Ocean's level is rising about 1.5 millimeters (mm) per year. At this rate, in how many years will the sea level be 3 m higher than it is now? You must include a SKETCH to solve.
People believe that continental drift in the Atlantic Ocean happens at the rate of about 1 to 2 cm/year. Convert this rate into nm/s.
