4. A 25 km2 watershed has a time of concentration of 1.6 hr. Calculate the NRCS triangular UH for a 10-minute rainfall event and

plot it. Determine the runoff hydrograph for a 30-minute storm where there is 4 cm of runoff in the first 10 min, 2.5 cm of runoff in the second 10 min, and 2 cm of runoff in the third 10 min. Plot the runoff hydrograph for each 10-minute rainfall excess along with the aggregated (total) runoff hydrograph on the same axes. Also report the peak flow of the aggregated runoff hydrograph. Also report the total volume of runoff. You do not need to report any tables of data.

Answer:

The NRCS triangular UH for a 10-minute rainfall is Qp = 49.84 m³/s

Peak flow of the aggregated runoff hydrograph is 420.58 m³/s

The total volume of runoff is 2125000 m³/s

Explanation:

We have

A = 25 km²

tr = 10 min = 1/6 hr

tc = 1.6 hr

lag time = 0.6 tc = 0.96 hr

Tp = tr/2 + 0.6 tc = 1/12 + 0.96 = 1.043 hr

Qp = 2.08×25/1.043 = 49.84 m³/s

Tb = 8/3×Tp = 8/3×1.043 = 2.782 hr

Since the area is

Time (min) Runoff (cm) Volume of runoff m³

0 0 0

10 4 1000000 m³

20 2.5 625000 m³

30 2 500000 m³

Total volume of runoff = 1000000 + 625000 + 500000 = 2125000 m³/s

For the 1st 10 minutes, we have

A = 25 km²

tr = 30 min = 1/2 hr

tc = 1.6 hr

lag time = 0.6 tc = 0.96 hr

Tp = tr/2 + 0.6 tc = 1/4 + 0.96 = 1.21 hr

Qp = 2.08×25×4/1.043 = 197.92 m³/s

Tb = 8/3×Tp = 8/3×1.21 = 3.227 hr

For the 2nd 10 minutes, we have

A = 25 km²

tr = 30 min = 1/2 hr

tc = 1.6 hr

lag time = 0.6 tc = 0.96 hr

Tp = tr/2 + 0.6 tc = 1/4 + 0.96 = 1.21 hr

Qp = 2.08×25×2.5/1.043 = 123.7 m³/s

Tb = 8/3×Tp = 8/3×1.21 = 3.227 hr

For the 3rd 10 minutes, we have

A = 25 km²

tr = 30 min = 1/2 hr

tc = 1.6 hr

lag time = 0.6 tc = 0.96 hr

Tp = tr/2 + 0.6 tc = 1/4 + 0.96 = 1.21 hr

Qp = 2.08×25×2.5/1.043 = 98.96 m³/s

Tb = 8/3×Tp = 8/3×1.21 = 3.227 hr

Peak flow of aggregate runoff is given by

Qp (total) = 98.96 + 123.7 +197.92 = 420.58 m³/s

Total volume of runoff is given by

Total volume of runoff = 1000000 + 625000 + 500000 = 2125000 m³/s

What is the air change rate (ACH) for a 100 ft^2 (9.3 m^2) space with a 10 ft (3.0 m) ceiling and an airflow rate of 200 cfm (95

kakasveta [241]

Answer:

The ACH is 12/h

Solution:

As per the question:

Area of the space, $A_{s} = 100 ft^{2}$

Height of the given space, h = 10 ft

Air flow rate, $Q_{a} = 200 cfm$

Now, to find the Air Change Rate (ACH):

We calculate the Volume of the given space:

$V_{s} = A_{s}\times h = 100\times 10 = 1000 ft^{3}$

Now, the ACH per min:

= $\frac{V_{s}}{Q_{a}} = \frac{1000}{200} = 5/min$

Now, ACH per hour:

= $\frac{60}{5} = 12/h$

Consider the brass alloy for which the stress-strain behavior is shown in the Animated Figure 7.12. A cylindrical specimen of th

sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

(a) 0.1509 mm

(b) 0.00525 mm

Explanation:

Stress, $\sigma$ is given by

$\sigma=\frac {F}{A}$ where F is force and A is area and area is given by $\frac {\pi d^{2}}{4}$ hence

$\sigma=\frac {4F}{\pi d^{2}}$ where d is the diameter. Substituting 9970 N for F and 10mm=0.01 m for d hence

$\sigma=\frac {4*9970 N}{\pi 0.01m^{2}}=126941982.6 N/m^{2}$

$\sigma \approx 127 Mpa$

From the attached stress-strain diagram, the stress of 127 Mpa corresponds to strain of 0.0015 and since strain is given by

$\epsilon=\frac {\triangle l}{l}$ where $\epsilon$ is the strain, $\triangle l$ is elongation and l is original length and making elongation the subject

$\triangle l= \epsilon \times l$ and substituting strain with 0.0015 and length l with 100.6 mm then

$\triangle l=0.0015\times 100.6=0.1509 mm$

(b)

Lateral strain is given by

$\epsilon_{lat}=\frac {\triangle d}{d}$ and substituting $-v\epsilon$ for $\epsilon_{lat}$ where v is poisson ratio then

$-v\epsilon=\frac {\triangle d}{d}$ and making $\triangle d$ the subject then

$\triangle d=-vd\epsilon$ and substituting 0.35 for v, 0.0015 for strain and 10 mm for d

$\triangle d=-(0.35)*10*0.0015=-0.00525 mm$ and the negative sign indicates decrease in diameter
