Question
Given the set-up shown in the illustration, find the following: a. Equivalent coefficient of permeability given that 3k₁ = k₂ = 2 k3 = 1.5 k4. k₁ = 4 x 10-² cm/sec, noting that k2 and k3 are of equal thickness. b. Flow rate from point X to point Y in cm³/sec if the width of the set-up is 4cm, and the total difference in height is 10 cm.
