Elevation Head using Total Head Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Elevation Head = Total Head-Pressure Head
z = H_t-h_p
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Elevation Head - (Measured in Meter) - Elevation Head is the potential energy per unit weight of a fluid due to its elevation above a reference level, typically mean sea level or the lowest point in the system being analyzed.
Total Head - (Measured in Meter) - Total Head is the total energy per unit weight of fluid at a point in a fluid system. This component represents the potential energy of the fluid due to its height above a reference plane.
Pressure Head - (Measured in Meter) - Pressure Head is the potential energy per unit weight of water at a specific point in a fluid system, measured relative to a reference level, often the ground surface or a specific datum.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Total Head: 12.02 Centimeter --> 0.1202 Meter (Check conversion here)
Pressure Head: 82 Millimeter --> 0.082 Meter (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

z = H_t-h_p --> 0.1202-0.082

Evaluating ... ...

z = 0.0382

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.0382 Meter -->38.2 Millimeter (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

38.2 Millimeter <-- Elevation Head

(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)

Transmissivity given Storage Coefficient from Theis Equation

Go Transmissivity = (Storage Coefficient*Distance from Pumping Well^2)/(4*Pumping Time*Varying Dimensionless Group)

Theis Equation to determine Storage Coefficient

Go Storage Coefficient = (4*Transmissivity*Pumping Time*Varying Dimensionless Group)/Distance from Pumping Well^2

Storage Coefficient from Theis Equation of Transmissivity

Go Storage Coefficient (Theis Equation) = (Pumping Rate*Well Function of U)/(Transmissivity*4*pi)

Theis equation to determine transmissivity

Go Transmissivity = (Pumping Rate*Well Function of U)/(4*pi*Storage Coefficient (Theis Equation))

Pressure Head for given Total Head

Go Pressure Head = Total Head-Elevation Head

Elevation Head using Total Head

Go Elevation Head = Total Head-Pressure Head

Total Head

Go Total Head = Elevation Head+Pressure Head

Elevation Head using Total Head Formula

Elevation Head = Total Head-Pressure Head
z = H_t-h_p

What is Pressure Head?

Pressure head is the height of a liquid column that corresponds to a particular pressure exerted by the liquid column on the base of its container. It may also be called static pressure head or simply static head.
