5. Given the flow situation in Question 4, how long does it take for the contaminant to migrate from the injection point to a sampling point located at (40,0,0) with 2.8% of its original concentration?
THIS IS Q4 FOR REFERENCE TO SOLVE Q5:
4. About 200 m3 industrial liquid waste with contaminant concentration (C0) of 469 kg/m3 is injected into a homogeneous unconfined aquifer through an illegal deep disposal well. The ground water flows along the positive x-axis. The aquifer characteristics are: porosity =0.1, hydraulic conductivity =10 m/day, hydraulic gradient =0.003, hydrodynamic dispersion coefficients for x, y and z directions =1.2 m2/day,0.1 m2/day and 0.04 m2/day, respectively. The contaminant is, however, biodegradable and the decay coefficient (\lambda ) is 0.003 d-1. After 45 days of the injection, estimate the equivalent concentration at pt. A and pt. B if the location of injection point is at the origin (0,0,0). Assume no retardation. Pt. A =(16,-2,1), Pt. B =(20,0.2,-0.1).
