In a pumping test of a confined aquifer, the steady state water level in an observation well 10m from the pumping well was 38mOD and was 42 mOD in another observation well 100m from the pumping well. The water levels in both wells were steady at 50mOD before the test began and then water was pumped at a constant rate of 0.005m^3/s from the pumping well.

Estimate the aquifer transmissivity.

If the aquifer is 15m thick, estimate the hydraulic conductivity of the aquifer material

A third well in the same aquifer is 1000m away from the pumping well. Estimate the steady state drawdown in that well due to pumping

Why will this test not give a value for the storativity of the aquifer?

a reinforced concrete bearing wall supports a 12" wide beam bearing in the full width of the wall spaced 10' o.c. . The bottom of the wall is a fixed connection. the top of the wall is a pinned connection. The wall is 20' tall. The load from each beam, Pu is 30 kips. Determine whether a 10" wall will work for this condition. select vertical and horizontal reinforcing steel.

(i) Neglecting minor losses plot the pipeline characteristic curve (system curve), for a flow rate range of 10-60 m3 /hr.

(ii) For an average flow of 20 m3 /hr select a suitable pump from the pump performance charts provided.

(iii) What are the discharge and head values you would record at duty point for the selected pump?

1. Based on the following test data and batch ticket information,

(1) calculate the concrete density and yield

(2) determine whether it is under yielding or over yielding

(3) make a sand (s.g.=2.63) adjustment if under yielding

(this problem requires some critical thinking since it is a bit more complicated than the example in lecture note 13)

Quantity ordered:                                            7 cubic yards

(however, yield should be check with one cubic yard)

The mix was designed as 27.1 cubic feet per cubic yard.

Why is it important to coordinate at time of bid and what are the downsides to coordinating at the time of bid?

Does cavitation occur when the NPSHa (Available Net Positive Suction Head) is below or above the pump's NPSHr (Required Net Positive Suction Head)? Explain.

1. 1. In building a profile for a set of sequences, PSI BLAST weighs sequences differently. Why is this done?

A water with a pH =7.0 has been analyzed and found to have the following composition, with all concentration in mg/L as CaCO3:
CO2 = 125 mg/L
Ca2+ = 250 mg/L
Mg2+ = 80 mg/L
Fe2+ = 10 mg/L
Alkalinity = 260 mg/L
SO4 2- = 50 mg/L
Cl- = 30 mg/L
a) what is the hardness of this water? Report in mg/L as CaCO3
b) use the excess Lime soda Ash method and estimate the kilograms of lime and kilograms of soda Ash that will be needed per 1MGD to soften this water. Report assumptions used in the calculations.
