(6 pts) In a laboratory, a constant head permeability test was conducted on brown sand with a trace of mica. For the constant head permeameter, the following data were obtained:
Quantity of water discharged during the test
Length of specimen between manometer outlets
=250cm3
=11.43cm
Time required for given quantity of water to be discharged =75sec.
Head difference (difference between manometer levels)
Temperature of water at the time of experiment
=5.5cm
=26C
=10.16cm
a. Determine the hydraulic conductivity (cms) at the time of testing (i.e., at 26C)
b. Determine the hydraulic conductivity (cms) at 20C.
c. At which temperature, the k value is smaller and why (you may research on the internet)?
