An underground storage tank (volume =1 m') spills its contents of 1 kg of TCE in a 10 m thick sand aquifer. the seepage velocity is 1 m/day in the x direction. the longitudinal dispersivity is Im, transverse and vertical dispersivities are 0.1 m. A) calculate the maximum concentration at distance x= 500m B) if the contaminant was uniformly spilled over the 10m thickness of the aquifer what is the m concentrations at x= 500m with longitudinal dispersivity is Im, transverse dispersivity is 0.1 m and vertical dispersivity=0
