The size of Carvins Cove water reservoir is 3.2 billion gallons. Approximately, 11 cfs of water is continuous withdrawn from thi

s reservoir to support residents of Roanoke County. This reservoir is filled with water from the Roanoke River. During a severe drought, inflow into this reservoir can drop to 0.5 cfs. If the drought persists, how long (days) until this reservoir dry-up? (

Answer:

471 days

Explanation:

Capacity of Carvins Cove water reservoir = 3.2 billion gallons i.e. 3.2 x 10˄9 gallons

As,  

1 gallon = 0.133 cubic feet (cf)

Therefore,  

Capacity of Carvins Cove water reservoir in cf  = 3.2 x 10˄9 x 0.133

                                                                         = 4.28 x 10˄8

 

Applying Mass balance i.e

Accumulation = Mass In - Mass out   (Eq. 01)

Here  

Mass In = 0.5 cfs

Mass out = 11 cfs

Putting values in (Eq. 01)

Accumulation  = 0.5 - 11

                         = - 10.5 cfs

 

Negative accumulation shows that reservoir is depleting i.e. at a rate of 10.5 cubic feet per second.

Converting depletion of reservoir in cubic feet per hour = 10.5 x 3600

                                                                                       = 37,800

 

Converting depletion of reservoir in cubic feet per day = 37, 800 x 24

                                                                                         = 907,200  

 

i.e. 907,200 cubic feet volume is being depleted in days = 1 day

1 cubic feet volume is being depleted in days = 1/907,200 day

4.28 x 10˄8 cubic feet volume will deplete in days  = (4.28 x 10˄8) x                    1/907,200

                                                                                 = 471 Days.

 

Hence in case of continuous drought reservoir will last for 471 days before dry-up.

Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

hello some parts of your question is missing attached below is the missing part ( the required fig and table )

answer : The solar collector surface area = 7133 m^2

Explanation:

Given data :

Rate of energy input to the collectors from solar radiation = 0.3 kW/m^2

percentage of solar power absorbed by refrigerant = 60%

Determine the solar collector surface area

The solar collector surface area = 7133 m^2

Alisiya [41]

Answer:

MRR = 1.984

Explanation:

Given that                              

Depth of cut ,d=0.105 in

Diameter D= 1 in

Speed V= 105 sfpm

feed f= 0.015 ipr

Now  the metal   removal  rate   given as

MRR= 12 f V d

d= depth of cut

V= Speed

f=Feed

MRR= Metal removal rate

By putting the values

MRR= 12 f V d

MRR = 12 x 0.015 x 105 x 0.105

MRR = 1.984

Therefore answer is -

1.944

Find the largest number. The process of finding the maximum value (i.e., the largest of a group of values) is used frequently in
salantis [7]

Answer:

See Explanation

Explanation:

Required

- Pseudocode to determine the largest of 10 numbers

- C# program to determine the largest of 10 numbers

The pseudocode and program makes use of a 1 dimensional array to accept input for the 10 numbers;

The largest of the 10 numbers is then saved in variable Largest and printed afterwards.

Pseudocode (Number lines are used for indentation to illustrate the program flow)

1. Start:

2. Declare Number as 1 dimensional array of 10 integers

3. Initialize: counter = 0

4. Do:

4.1 Display “Enter Number ”+(counter + 1)

4.2 Accept input for Number[counter]

4.3 While counter < 10

5. Initialize: Largest = Number[0]

6. Loop: i = 0 to 10

6.1 if Largest < Number[i] Then

6.2 Largest = Number[i]

6.3 End Loop:

7. Display “The largest input is “+Largest

8. Stop

C# Program (Console)

Comments are used for explanatory purpose

using System;

namespace ConsoleApplication1

{

   class Program

   {

       static void Main(string[] args)

       {

           int[] Number = new int[10];  // Declare array of 10 elements

           //Accept Input

           int counter = 0;

           while(counter<10)

           {

               Console.WriteLine("Enter Number " + (counter + 1)+": ");

               string var = Console.ReadLine();

               Number[counter] = Convert.ToInt32(var);

               counter++;                  

           }

           //Initialize largest to first element of the array

           int Largest = Number[0];

           //Determine Largest

           for(int i=0;i<10;i++)

           {

               if(Largest < Number[i])

               {

                   Largest = Number[i];

               }

           }

           //Print Largest

           Console.WriteLine("The largest input is "+ Largest);

           Console.ReadLine();

       }

   }

}
