Design a plan for ""your yard"" (no matter where you live) that will capture and utilize rainwater. You can prepare the plan in
graphical form (rough sketch) on a paper. Please provide an explanation of your plan as well.

Explanation:
<u><em>General Considerations</em></u>
The design of the yard will affect the natural surface and subsurface drainage pattern of a watershed or individual hillslope. Yard drainage design has as its basic objective the reduction or elimination of energy generated by flowing water. The destructive power of flowing water increases exponentially as its velocity increases. Therefore, water must not be allowed to develop sufficient volume or velocity so as to cause excessive wear along ditches, below culverts, or along exposed running surfaces, cuts, or fills.
A yard drainage system must satisfy two main criteria if it is to be effective throughout its design life:
1. It must allow for a minimum of disturbance of the natural drainage pattern.
2.It must drain surface and subsurface water away from the roadway and dissipate it in a way that prevents excessive collection of water in unstable areas and subsequent downstream erosion

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to temperature stagnation and adiabatic pressure in a system.
The stagnation temperature can be defined as
Where
T = Static temperature
V = Velocity of Fluid
Specific Heat
Re-arrange to find the static temperature we have that
Now the pressure of helium by using the Adiabatic pressure temperature is
Where,
= Stagnation pressure of the fluid
k = Specific heat ratio
Replacing we have that
Therefore the static temperature of air at given conditions is 72.88K and the static pressure is 0.399Mpa
<em>Note: I took the exactly temperature of 400 ° C the equivalent of 673.15K. The approach given in the 600K statement could be inaccurate.</em>
Answer:
Gs = 2.647
e = 0.7986
Explanation:
We know that moist unit weight of soil is given as
where, = moist unit weight of the soil
Gs = specific gravity of the soil
S = degree of saturation
e = void ratio
= unit weight of water = 9.81 kN/m3
From data given we know that:
At 50% saturation,
puttng all value to get Gs value;
Gs - 1.194*e = 1.694 .........(1)
for saturaion 75%, unit weight = 17.71 KN/m3
Gs - 1.055*e = 1.805 .........(2)
solving both equations (1) and (2), we obtained;
Gs = 2.647
e = 0.7986
