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

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.

Why is the back-work ratio much higher in the brayton cycle than in the rankine cycle?

zloy xaker [14]

The back-work ratio much higher in the Brayton cycle than in the Rankine cycle because a gas cycle is the Brayton cycle, while a steam cycle is the Rankine cycle. Particularly, the creation of water droplets will be a constraint on the steam turbine's efficiency. Since gas has a bigger specific volume than steam, the compressor will have to work harder while using gas.

<h3>What are modern Brayton engines?</h3>

Even originally Brayton exclusively produced piston engines, modern Brayton engines are virtually invariably of the turbine variety. Brayton engines are also gas turbines.

<h3>What is the ranking cycle?</h3>

A gas cycle is the Brayton cycle, while the Ranking cycle is a steam cycle. The production of water droplets will especially decrease the steam turbine's performance. Gas-powered compressors will have to do more work since gas's specific volume is greater than steam's.

Find the number of Btu conducted through a wall in 8 hours. The wall is 8 feet high by 24 feet long and has a total R-value of 1

dedylja [7]

Answer:

ΔQ = 4930.37 BTu

Explanation:

given data

height h = 8ft

Δt = 8 hours

length L = 24 feet

R value = 16.2 hr⋅°F⋅ft² /Btu

inside temperature t1 = 68°F

outside temperature t2 = 16°F

to find out

number of Btu conducted

solution

we get here number of Btu conducted by this expression that s

$\frac{\Delta Q}{\Delta t} =\frac{-A}{R} (t2 -t1)$ ......................1

here A is area that is = h × L = 8 × 24 = 1492 ft²

put here value we get

$\frac{\Delta Q}{8} =\frac{-192}{16.2} (16-68)$

solve it we get

ΔQ = 4930.37 BTu

Question 1: Final Results = What are the values of the resistances such that the gain = -100, Rin = 1 MI2. Don't use resistances

lidiya [134]

Answer:

Explanation:

In a study of algebra, you will encounter many families of equations, or groups of

equations that share common characteristics. Of interest to us here is the family of

linear equations in one variable, a study that lays the foundation for understanding

more advanced families. In addition to solving linear equations, we’ll use the skills we

develop to solve for a specified variable in a formula, a practice widely used in science,

business, industry, and research.

A. Solving Linear Equations Using Properties of Equality

An equation is a statement that two expressions are

equal. From the expressions and

we can form the equation

which is a linear equation in one variable. To solve

an equation, we attempt to find a specific input or xvalue that will make the equation true, meaning the

left-hand expression will be equal to the right. Using

Table 1.1, we find that is a

true equation when x is replaced by 2, and is a false

equation otherwise. Replacement values that make

the equation true are called solutions or roots of the equation.

<u>Plane -Strain Fracture toughness is calculated as</u>

$k_{IC}$ = $f$ б $\sqrt{\pi a}$

F=geometry factor of the flaw

$k_{IC}$ =Fracture toughness

a=Flaw size

<u>Given that </u>
