Question: Consider the setup shown in the Figure below in which two different soil layers are located inside a cylindrical tube of 2 0 0 m

Consider the setup shown in the Figure below in which two different soil layers are located inside a cylindrical tube of 200mm. A constant head difference is maintained across the soil sample. The porosities and hydraulic conductivities of the two soils in the direction of the flow are as follows: k1=4.510-3cms,n1=0.5;k2=4.310-4cms,n2=0.35.
(a) Determine the quantity of water flowing through the sample per hour.
(b) Determine the elevation head (Z), pressure head (hp), and the total head (h) at points A, B, C, D, &E.
(c) Plot the variation of the elevation head, pressure head and the total head with the horizontal distance along the sample axis.
(d) Plot the variations of discharge velocity and the seepage velocity along the sample axis.
Consider the setup shown in the Figure below in
