Question
A unit of this quantity named after Richard Barrer equals [read slowly] "10 to the minus 10 standard cubic centimeters times centimeters per centimeter squared-second-centimeter of mercury." For 10 points each:
[10h] Name this quantity that equals hydraulic conductivity times mu. Volumetric flow rate equals this quantity times the pressure drop over dynamic viscosity.
ANSWER: permeability [prompt on k or kappa; reject “porosity”]
[10m] This person names the aforementioned law, which applies for fluid flowing through a porous medium. This person is the first namesake of an equation that relates head loss to the average velocity of fluid flow through a pipe.
ANSWER: Henry Darcy [accept Darcy’s law; accept Darcy–Weisbach equation]
[10e] Darcy’s law is often used to analyze the flow of groundwater through these structures. The Ogallala is one of these structures that consist of layers of permeable rock.
ANSWER: aquifers [accept the Ogallala aquifer]
