Specific Yield Solution

Follow our step by step solution on how to calculate Specific Yield?

FIRST Step Consider the formula

S y = \frac{V d}{V t}

Next Step Substitute values of Variables

∴

S y = \frac{10m³}{50m³}

Next Step Prepare to Evaluate

∴

S y = \frac{10}{50}

LAST Step Evaluate

∴

S y = 0.2

Specific Yield

Specific Yield tells how much water is available for Consumptive use.

Symbol: S_y

Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless

Note: Value can be positive or negative.

Formulas to find Specific Yield

Volume of water Drained

Volume of Water Drained from total volume of soil or rock is the removal of excess water either from the ground surface or from the rootzone.

Symbol: V_d

Measurement: VolumeUnit: m³

Note: Value can be positive or negative.

Formulas to find Volume of water Drained

Total Volume of Soil or Rock Sample

Total Volume of Soil or Rock Sample is the combined volume of solids and pores which may contain volume of air or volume of water, or both.

Symbol: V_t

Measurement: VolumeUnit: m³

Note: Value can be positive or negative.

Formulas to find Total Volume of Soil or Rock Sample

Other formulas in Specific Yield category

Go Total volume of soil or rock samples

V t = \frac{V d}{S y}

Go Volume of water that drains from total volume soil or rock sample

V d = S y \cdot V t

How to Evaluate Specific Yield?

Specific Yield evaluator uses Specific Yield = Volume of water Drained/Total Volume of Soil or Rock Sample to evaluate the Specific Yield, The Specific Yield is defined as the amount of how much water is available for man's consumptive use. Specific Yield is denoted by S_y symbol.

How to evaluate Specific Yield using this online evaluator? To use this online evaluator for Specific Yield, enter Volume of water Drained (V_d) & Total Volume of Soil or Rock Sample (V_t) and hit the calculate button.

FAQs on Specific Yield

What is the formula to find Specific Yield?

The formula of Specific Yield is expressed as Specific Yield = Volume of water Drained/Total Volume of Soil or Rock Sample. Here is an example- 0.2 = 10/50.

How to calculate Specific Yield?

With Volume of water Drained (V_d) & Total Volume of Soil or Rock Sample (V_t) we can find Specific Yield using the formula - Specific Yield = Volume of water Drained/Total Volume of Soil or Rock Sample.
