Three monitoring wells are used to determine the hydraulic gradient of an aquifer, and each well is located at the vertex of an equilateral triangle. The distance between any pair of wells is 300 m. The head at each well, referenced to some common datum, is as follows: well 1, 100 m; well 2, 100.3 m; well 3, 100.3 m. The aquifer has a hydraulic conductivity of 1,000 m/d, and a porosity of 0.35.
a. Sketch the well field and find the magnitude and direction of the hydraulic gradient.
b. What is the Darcy velocity?
c. What is the average linear velocity of the groundwater?
d. If the front edge of a plume is perfectly straight, how long would it take to travel to well 1 after first arriving (simultaneously) at wells 2 and 3

Two flowing streams of argon gas are adiabatically mixed to form a single flow/stream. one stream is 1.5 kg/s at 400 kpa and 200 c while the second stream is 2kg/s at 500 kpa and 100 ? . it is stated that the exit state of the mixed single flow of argon gas is 150 c and 300 kpa. assuming there is no work output or input during the mixing process, does this process violate either the first or the second law or both? explain and state all your assumptions.

Air is to be cooled in the evaporator section of a refrigerator by passing it over a bank of 0.8-cm-outer-diameter and 0.4-m-long tubes inside which the refrigerant is evaporating at -20°c. air approaches the tube bank in the normal direction at 0°c and 1 atm with a mean velocity of 4 m/s. the tubes are arranged in-line with longitudinal and transverse pitches of sl- st 1.5 cm. there are 30 rows in the flow direction with 15 tubes in each row. determine (a) the refrigeration capacity of this system and (b) pressure drop across the tube bank. evaluate the air properties at an assumed mean temperature of -5°c and 1 atm. is this a good assumption?
