    Which of the following is independent of the properties of water with respect to permeability?
    Question

    Which of the following is independent of the properties of water with respect to permeability?

    A.

    Coefficient of hydraulic conductivity

    B.

    Coefficient of absolute permeability

    C.

    Coefficient of permeability

    D.

    Coefficient of percolation

    Correct option is B

    Coefficient of absolute permeability is independent of the properties of water and it depends on the properties of soil mass.The expression for coefficient of absolute permeability (k)=k=C(e31+e)D2Coefficient of permeability (k) depends not only on the properties of the soil mass such as size, shape, specific surface, void ratio, etc. but also on the properties of the permeant which flows through it.\rightarrow \text{Coefficient of absolute permeability is independent of the properties of water and it depends on the properties of soil mass.} \\\rightarrow \text{The expression for coefficient of absolute permeability } (k) = \\k = C \left( \frac{e^3}{1 + e} \right) D^2 \\\rightarrow \text{Coefficient of permeability } (k) \text{ depends not only on the properties of the soil mass such as size, shape, specific surface, void ratio, etc. but also on the properties of the permeant which flows through it.}​​
