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

A container filled with a sample of an ideal gas at the pressure of 150 Kpa. The gas is compressed isothermally to one-third of

lyudmila [28]

Answer: c) 450 kPa

Explanation:

Boyle's Law: This law states that pressure is inversely proportional to the volume of the gas at constant temperature and number of moles.

$P\propto \frac{1}{V}$ (At constant temperature and number of moles)

$P_1V_1=P_2V_2$

where,

$P_1$ = initial pressure of gas = 150 kPa

$P_2$ = final pressure of gas = ?

$V_1$ = initial volume of gas = v L

$V_2$ = final volume of gas = $\frac{v}{3}L$

$150\times v=P_2\times \frac{v}{3}$

$P_2=450kPa$

Therefore, the new pressure of the gas will be 450 kPa.

A smooth sphere with a diameter of 6 inches and a density of 493 lbm/ft^3 falls at terminal speed through sea water (S.G.=1.0027

Pachacha [2.7K]

Given:

diameter of sphere, d = 6 inches

radius of sphere, r = $\frac{d}{2}$ = 3 inches

density, $\rho}$ = 493 lbm/ $ft^{3}$

S.G = 1.0027

g = 9.8 m/ $m^{2}$ = 386.22 inch/ $s^{2}$

Solution:

Using the formula for terminal velocity,

$v_{T}$ = $\sqrt{\frac{2V\rho g}{A \rho C_{d}}}$ (1)

$(Since, m = V\times \rho)$

where,

V = volume of sphere

$C_{d}$ = drag coefficient

Now,

Surface area of sphere, A = $4\pi r^{2}$

Volume of sphere, V = $\frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3}$

Using the above formulae in eqn (1):

$v_{T}$ = $\sqrt{\frac{2\times \frac{4}{3} \pir^{3}\rho g}{4\pi r^{2} \rho C_{d}}}$

$v_{T}$ = $\sqrt{\frac{2gr}{3C_{d}}}$

$v_{T}$ = $\sqrt{\frac{2\times 386.22\times 3}{3C_{d}}}$

Therefore, terminal velcity is given by:

$v_{T}$ = $\frac{27.79}{\sqrt{C_d}}$ inch/sec
