Coefficient of Permeability given Rate of Flow of Water Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Coefficient of Permeability = (Rate of Flow of Water through Soil/(Hydraulic Gradient in Soil*Cross Sectional Area in Permeability))
k = (q_flow/(i*A_cs))
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Coefficient of Permeability - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Coefficient of Permeability is a measure of a soil's ability to allow water to flow through its pores. Essential in the design of retaining walls, cutoff walls, and other seepage control measures.
Rate of Flow of Water through Soil - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Second) - Rate of Flow of Water through Soil is the rate at which a water flows through a particular channel, pipe, etc.
Hydraulic Gradient in Soil - Hydraulic Gradient in Soil is the driving force that causes groundwater to move in the direction of maximum decreasing total head.
Cross Sectional Area in Permeability - (Measured in Square Meter) - Cross Sectional Area in Permeability is the surface area perpendicular to the direction of fluid flow through which the fluid moves. It is important in the design of hydraulic structures such as dams.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Rate of Flow of Water through Soil: 24 Cubic Meter per Second --> 24 Cubic Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Hydraulic Gradient in Soil: 2.01 --> No Conversion Required
Cross Sectional Area in Permeability: 13 Square Meter --> 13 Square Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

k = (q_flow/(i*A_cs)) --> (24/(2.01*13))

Evaluating ... ...

k = 0.918484500574053

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.918484500574053 Meter per Second --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.918484500574053 ≈ 0.918485 Meter per Second <-- Coefficient of Permeability

What is Coefficient of Permeability?

The coefficient of permeability of a soil describes how easily a liquid will move through a soil. It is also commonly referred to as the hydraulic conductivity of a soil. This factor can be affected by the viscosity, or thickness(fluidity) of a liquid and its density.

How to Calculate Coefficient of Permeability given Rate of Flow of Water?

Coefficient of Permeability given Rate of Flow of Water calculator uses Coefficient of Permeability = (Rate of Flow of Water through Soil/(Hydraulic Gradient in Soil*Cross Sectional Area in Permeability)) to calculate the Coefficient of Permeability, The Coefficient of Permeability given Rate of Flow of Water formula is defined as a measure of a soil's ability to allow water to flow through it. During construction, soils are compacted to achieve the desired permeability. The compaction process involves adjusting moisture content and applying mechanical forces to reduce void spaces in the soil. Coefficient of Permeability is denoted by k symbol.

How to calculate Coefficient of Permeability given Rate of Flow of Water using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Coefficient of Permeability given Rate of Flow of Water, enter Rate of Flow of Water through Soil (q_flow), Hydraulic Gradient in Soil (i) & Cross Sectional Area in Permeability (A_cs) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Coefficient of Permeability given Rate of Flow of Water calculation can be explained with given input values -> 0.918485 = (24/(2.01*13)).
