A 12-in-diameter well completely penetrates a 130-ft-thick, unconfined aquifer with a coefficient of permeability of 0.00055 ft/sec. If the radius of influence of the well is 500 feet and the drawdown at an observation well 250 ft away is 5 ft, determine the steady state well discharge and the drawdown at the well.

At 130°C, a bronze hoop 20 mm thick whose inside diameter is 600 mm just fits snugly over a steel hoop 15 mm thick. Both hoops are 100 mm wide. Compute the contact pressure between the hoops when the temperature drops to 20°C. Neglect the possibility that the inner ring may buckle. For steel, E = 200 GPa and α = 11.7μm/(m.°C). For bronze, E = 83 GPa α = 19 μm/(m.°C)

Water flows between two reservoirs through 800 ft of 12-inch diameter welded-steel pipe. The water surface elevation difference between the two reservoirs is 16 ft. Find the flowrate (a) assuming head loss is only due to pipe friction, and (b) Accounting for both friction losses and minor losses due to a flush square-edged pipe entrance, the pipe exit, and a half-open gate valve in the line. Assume the water temperature is 60°F.
