A constant head permeameter, 85 mm in diameter containing fine sand sample 450 mm long, allowed water to flow at a rate of 184 mL/min under steady flow conditions. Given the difference in head between two points 240 mm apart was 375 mm, determine the coefficient of permeability in mm/s. When the same sample size is tested in a falling head apparatus using a stand-pipe of 32.5 mm diameter, calculate the time required for the water in the stand-pipe to drop from 1750 mm to 1000 mm above the outflow level.
A glass cylinder 5 cm internal diameter and with a screen at the bottom was used as a falling head permeameter. The thickness of the sample was 10 cm. With the water level in the tube at the start of the test as 50 cm above the tail water, it dropped by 10 cm in one minute, the tail water level remaining unchanged. Calculate the value of k (cm/s) for the sample of the soil.
A settling column analysis is performed on a dilute suspension of particles from water. The suspension exhibited discrete particle settling characteristics. Data collected from samples taken at a depth of 1.5 meters are as follows: Time required to settle 1.5 m (min) 0.6 1.2 2.2 4.5 6 8.8 Fraction of Particles Settled 0.3 0.45 0.6 0.7 0.85 0.96 Plot the velocity distribution for the suspension Find the overflow rate (Q/A) for a settling tank that will give at least 75% removal. If the flowrate into the settling tank in part b. is 850 m3/hr, please give the dimensions of you settling tank? Since you will need to address the smaller particles that have passed through this system at some later point, what is the particle size distribution (mass fraction vs. diameter) if we assume the particle density is that of sand (sg = 2.65)

A sample in a variable head permeameter is 8 cm in diameter and 10 cm high.The permeability of the sample is estimated to be 10 × 10^–4 cm/s.

In a falling head permeameter, the sample used is 25 cm long having a cross-sectional area of 24 cm2. The cross-sectional area of the standpipe is 2 cm2. The sample of soil is made of three layers perpendicular to the direction of the flow. The thickness of the top layer is 8 cm and has a value of k1 = 4 x 10-4 cm/sec, the second layer of thickness 10 cm has k2 = 6 x 10-4 cm/sec, and the bottom layer of thickness 7 cm has k3 = 8 x 10-4 cm/sec. Calculate the time required for a drop of head from 25 to 12 cm. ( in minutes).
