Well Discharge given Specific Capacity Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

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

Variables Used

Discharge - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Second) - Discharge is the rate of flow of a liquid.
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.
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

Specific Capacity: 0.037 Square Meter per Second --> 0.037 Square 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

Q = S_c*(CQⁿ+BQ) --> 0.037*(0.52+27.6)

Evaluating ... ...

Q = 1.04044

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

1.04044 Cubic Meter per Second --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

1.04044 Cubic Meter per Second <-- Discharge

(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)

What is Discharge?

The amount of fluid passing a section of a stream in unit time is called the discharge. If v is the mean velocity and A is the cross sectional area, the discharge Q is defined by Q = Av which is known as volume flow rate.

How to Calculate Well Discharge given Specific Capacity?

Well Discharge given Specific Capacity calculator uses Discharge = Specific Capacity*(Head Loss in Well+Aquifer Loss) to calculate the Discharge, The Well Discharge given Specific Capacity formula is defined as the measure of the rate of flow of water from a well, which is influenced by the specific capacity of the well and the characteristic losses that occur within the well. Discharge is denoted by Q symbol.

How to calculate Well Discharge given Specific Capacity using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Well Discharge given Specific Capacity, enter Specific Capacity (S_c), Head Loss in Well (CQⁿ) & Aquifer Loss (BQ) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Well Discharge given Specific Capacity calculation can be explained with given input values -> 1.02305 = 0.037*(0.52+27.6).
