Specific Capacity given Aquifer Loss Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Specific Capacity = (Discharge/(Head Loss in Well+Aquifer Loss))
S_c = (Q/(CQⁿ+BQ))
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Specific Capacity - (Measured in Square Meter per Second) - The Specific Capacity refers to the measure used in hydrogeology to evaluate the efficiency of a well, defined as the amount of water a well can produce per unit of drawdown.
Discharge - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Second) - Discharge is the rate of flow of a liquid.
Head Loss in Well - (Measured in Meter) - The Head Loss in Well refers to the difference between the head of the aquifer immediately outside and in the well a head inside because of all these losses.
Aquifer Loss - (Measured in Meter) - The Aquifer Loss refers to the reduction in the volume of water stored in an aquifer.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Discharge: 1.01 Cubic Meter per Second --> 1.01 Cubic Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Head Loss in Well: 0.52 Meter --> 0.52 Meter No Conversion Required
Aquifer Loss: 27.6 Meter --> 27.6 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

S_c = (Q/(CQⁿ+BQ)) --> (1.01/(0.52+27.6))

Evaluating ... ...

S_c = 0.0359174964438122

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.0359174964438122 Square Meter per Second --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.0359174964438122 ≈ 0.035917 Square Meter per Second <-- Specific Capacity
