Total Head Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

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

Variables Used

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.
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.
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

Elevation Head: 38 Millimeter --> 0.038 Meter (Check conversion here)
Pressure Head: 82 Millimeter --> 0.082 Meter (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

H_t = z+h_p --> 0.038+0.082

Evaluating ... ...

H_t = 0.12

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.12 Meter -->12 Centimeter (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

12 Centimeter <-- Total Head

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

Total Head Formula

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

What is Total Head?

The sum of the Elevation head, Pressure head, and Velocity head of a liquid. For ground water, the velocity-head component is generally negligible.

How to Calculate Total Head?

Total Head calculator uses Total Head = Elevation Head+Pressure Head to calculate the Total Head, The Total Head formula is defined as the total energy per unit weight of fluid, which is a combination of potential energy (due to elevation), kinetic energy (due to velocity), and pressure energy. It is a fundamental concept used in the analysis and design of hydraulic systems, such as pipelines, open channels, and groundwater flow systems. Total Head is denoted by H_t symbol.

How to calculate Total Head using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Total Head, enter Elevation Head (z) & Pressure Head (h_p) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Total Head calculation can be explained with given input values -> 1200 = 0.038+0.082.
