STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Vacuum at the Pump Entrance: 2.1 Meter --> 2.1 Meter No Conversion Required
Depth of the Suction Pipe Entrance: 6 Meter --> 6 Meter No Conversion Required
Specific Weight of Water: 9.807 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter --> 9807 Newton per Cubic Meter (Check conversion here)
Depth of Submergence of the Pump: 6.5 Meter --> 6.5 Meter No Conversion Required
Hydraulic Loss Coefficient: 0.02 --> No Conversion Required
Flow Velocity in the Suction Pipe: 9 Meter per Second --> 9 Meter per Second No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

γ_m = (p^'+Zs)*y_w/(Zs-Z_p+(f*Vs^2/2*[g])) --> (2.1+6)*9807/(6-6.5+(0.02*9^2/2*[g]))

What is Suction Dredger?

Suction Dredger is a stationary dredger normally used for mining sand. The suction pipe of this dredger is inserted into the sand deposit and water jets are used to bring the sand up from the excavation site.

What is the difference between Volumetric and Gravimetric Water Content?

Gravimetric water content is the weight of soil water contained in a unit weight of soil (kg water/kg dry soil).
Likewise, volumetric water content is a volume fraction (m3 water/m3 soil).
