Question 59
CENAT2 marksNeeds review
Two soils of permeabilities k₁ and k₂ are placed in a horizontal flow apparatus, as shown in the figure. For Soil 1, L₁ = 50 cm, and k₁ = 0.055 cm/s; for Soil 2, L₂ = 30 cm, and k₂ = 0.035 cm/s. The cross sectional area of the horizontal pipe is 100 cm², and the head difference (Δh) is 150 cm. The discharge (in cm³/s) through the soils is __________ (rounded off to 2 decimal places).
