Head difference between Headwater and Tail Water given Quantity of Seepage in Length of Dam Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Loss of Head = (Quantity of Seepage*Equipotential Lines)/(Number of Beds*Coefficient of Permeability of Soil*Length of Dam)
H_L = (Q*N)/(B*k*L)
This formula uses 6 Variables

Variables Used

Loss of Head - (Measured in Meter) - The Loss of head due to sudden enlargement turbulent eddies are formed at the corner of the enlargement of the pipe section.
Quantity of Seepage - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Second) - Quantity of Seepage is the movement of water in soils or the ground.
Equipotential Lines - Equipotential Lines is defined as the number of lines with same potential drop.
Number of Beds - The Number of Beds is defined as the number of beds between each of the same potential drops.
Coefficient of Permeability of Soil - (Measured in Meter per Second) - The Coefficient of Permeability of Soil describes how easily a liquid will move through the soil.
Length of Dam - (Measured in Meter) - Length of Dam is the measurement or extent of something from end to end.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Quantity of Seepage: 0.95 Cubic Meter per Second --> 0.95 Cubic Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Equipotential Lines: 4 --> No Conversion Required
Number of Beds: 2 --> No Conversion Required
Coefficient of Permeability of Soil: 10 Centimeter per Second --> 0.1 Meter per Second (Check conversion here)
Length of Dam: 3 Meter --> 3 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

H_L = (Q*N)/(B*k*L) --> (0.95*4)/(2*0.1*3)

Evaluating ... ...

H_L = 6.33333333333333

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

6.33333333333333 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

6.33333333333333 ≈ 6.333333 Meter <-- Loss of Head

(Calculation completed in 00.020 seconds)
