Question

Assume a clay liner witht the following properties and conditions:thickness, L = 0.6m, seepage velocity across clay liner, vs = 3.0 x 10-7cm/s, and the effective diffusion coefficient of clay liner, D=6 x 10-10 m2/s = 6 x 10-6cm2/s.

(a) Determine the solute relative concentration at z=1.0m, 0.2m, 0.3m, 0.4m and 0.6m at t=365 days

(b) Determine the solute relative concentration at the base of the liner at t=2 years, 5 years, 10 years, 15 years, 20 years and 50 years

Expert Solution
Step 1 Interpretation of data

Data given:

Thickness L = 0.6 m

Seepage velocity, Vs = 3.0 x 10-7 cm/s

The effective diffusion coefficient of clay liner, D = 6 x 10-10 m2/s = 6 x 10-6 cm2/s

Asked:

  • The solute relative concentration at z=1.0m, 0.2m, 0.3m, 0.4m and 0.6m at t=365 days
  • The solute relative concentration at the base of the liner at t=2 years, 5 years, 10 years, 15 years, 20 years and 50 years
