Thickness of Aquifer for Discharge in Unconfined Aquifer with Base 10 Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary
Formula Used
Thickness of Aquifer = sqrt(Depth of Water^2+(Discharge*log((Radius of Influence/Radius of Well),10))/(1.36*Standard Coefficient of Permeability at 20°C))
b = sqrt(hw^2+(Q*log((Rw/r),10))/(1.36*Ks))
This formula uses 2 Functions, 6 Variables
Functions Used
sqrt - A square root function is a function that takes a non-negative number as an input and returns the square root of the given input number., sqrt(Number)
log - Logarithmic function is an inverse function to exponentiation., log(Base, Number)
Variables Used
Thickness of Aquifer - (Measured in Meter) - The Thickness of Aquifer vertical thickness of the hydro geologically defined aquifer in which the pore spaces of the rock forming the aquifer are filled with water.
Depth of Water - (Measured in Meter) - Depth of Water is the depth in the well measured above the impermeable layer.
Discharge - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Second) - Discharge is the flow rate of water that is extracted from or injected into a well.
Radius of Influence - (Measured in Meter) - Radius of Influence measured from the center of the well to the point where drawdown curve meets the original water table.
Radius of Well - (Measured in Meter) - Radius of Well is defined as the distance from center of well to its outer boundary.
Standard Coefficient of Permeability at 20°C - Standard Coefficient of Permeability at 20°C of pure water at standard temperature.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Depth of Water: 2.44 Meter --> 2.44 Meter No Conversion Required
Discharge: 1.01 Cubic Meter per Second --> 1.01 Cubic Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Radius of Influence: 8.6 Meter --> 8.6 Meter No Conversion Required
Radius of Well: 7.5 Meter --> 7.5 Meter No Conversion Required
Standard Coefficient of Permeability at 20°C: 8.34 --> No Conversion Required
STEP 2: Evaluate Formula
Substituting Input Values in Formula
b = sqrt(hw^2+(Q*log((Rw/r),10))/(1.36*Ks)) --> sqrt(2.44^2+(1.01*log((8.6/7.5),10))/(1.36*8.34))
Evaluating ... ...
b = 2.72979117793667
STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit
2.72979117793667 Meter --> No Conversion Required
FINAL ANSWER
2.72979117793667 2.729791 Meter <-- Thickness of Aquifer
