TGPSC HMWSSB Manager 2015 Paper 2 · Question 55
Question 55 of the TSPSC Manager (Engineering), HMWSSB, 2015: Paper 2 (Civil Engineering) (1 November 2015). Try it first, then open the answer and explanation.
The unit of intrinsic permeability is
- cm/day
- m/day
- Darcy/day
- cm²
Show answer
Answer: (4) cm²
Intrinsic permeability k = Kμ/γ depends only on the pore geometry of the medium and has dimensions of L² (cm², or the darcy); cm/day and m/day are units of hydraulic conductivity, which also depends on the fluid.
