Storat1ya <br /> Storativity is the volume of air a soil zone releases from, or takes into, storage per unit surface <br /> area of the zone per unit change in pressure <br /> z Test Array <br /> A test array is comprised of one vapor extraction well and a number of observation wells used <br /> for vacuum monitoring The number of test arrays depends on the availability of existing <br /> monitoring wells that are suitably spaced and constructed (extraction and observation wells with <br /> similar screened casing intervals). <br /> Transient Flow <br /> Transient flow is the early-time flow nod that <br /> Y pe precedes the attainment of steady-state <br /> conditions During this flow penod, the vacuum response observed at a given distance changes <br /> as a function of elapsed time. <br /> Transmissibility <br /> Soil transmissibility to air, or the ability of the vadose zone to transmit air to the extraction well, <br /> is mathematically defined as the product of the permeability (k) of the vadose zone and its <br /> thickness (h) divided by the average hydrocarbon-saturated air viscosity (U). The soil <br />. transmissibility is used to model subsurface air flow since estimates of the air viscosity and <br /> vadose zone flow thickness are not always readily available <br /> Transmissivit <br /> Transmissivity is defined as the product of the vadose zone thickness (h) by the conductivity of <br /> the vadose zone (K). <br /> Vadose Zone <br /> The vadose zone, or unsaturated zone, is the section of soil above the ground water table through <br /> which air flow is taking place <br /> A-2 <br />
