Practice Problem 2: Refer to Figure 1.12. If Hi = 1.5 m, H2 = 2.5 m, h = 1.5 m, e =0.49, G, = 2.66, area of the tank = 0.62 m2, and hydraulic conductivity of the sand (k) = 0.21 cm/sec. a. What is the rate of upward seepage of water (m/min)? b. Will boiling occur when h = 1.5 m? c. What would be the critical value of h to cause boiling? Valve (open)
