Consider the following hypothetical scenario for Jordan Lake, NC. In a given year, the average watershed inflow to the lake is 9

dybincka [34]

Answer:

The lake can withdraw a maximum of $1.464\times 10^{10}$ cubic feet per year to provide water supply for the Triangle area.

Explanation:

The maximum amount of water that can be withdrawn from the lake is represented by the following formula:

$V = V_{in}+V_{p}-V_{e}-V_{out}$ (Eq. 1)

Where:

$V$ - Available amount of water for water supply in the Triangle area, measured in cubic feet per year.

$V_{in}$ - Inflow amount of water, measured in cubic feet per year.

$V_{out}$ - Amount of water released for the benefit of fish and downstream water users, measured in cubic feet per year.

$V_{p}$ - Amount of water due to precipitation, measured in cubic feet per year.

$V_{e}$ - Amount of evaporated water, measured in cubic feet per year.

Then, we can expand this expression as follows:

$V = f_{in}\cdot \Delta t+h_{p}\cdot A_{l}-h_{e}\cdot A_{l}-f_{out}\cdot \Delta t$

$V = (f_{in}-f_{out})\cdot \Delta t +(h_{p}-h_{e})\cdot A_{l}$ (Eq. 2)

Where:

$f_{in}$ - Average watershed inflow, measured in cubic feet per second.

$f_{out}$ - Average flow to be released, measured in cubic feet per second.

$\Delta t$ - Yearly time, measured in seconds per year.

$h_{p}$ - Change in lake height due to precipitation, measured in feet per year.

$h_{e}$ - Change in lake height due to evaporation, measured in feet per year.

$A_{l}$ - Surface area of the lake, measured in square feet.

If we know that $f_{in} = 900\,\frac{ft^{3}}{s}$ , $f_{out} = 300\,\frac{ft^{3}}{s}$ , $\Delta t = 31,536,000\,\frac{second}{yr}$ , $h_{p} = 32\,\frac{in}{yr}$ , $h_{e} = 55\,\frac{in}{yr}$ and $A_{l} = 47,000\,acres$ , the available amount of water for supply purposes in the Triangle area is:

$V = \left(900\,\frac{ft^{2}}{s}-300\,\frac{ft^{3}}{s} \right)\cdot \left(31,536,000\,\frac{s}{yr} \right) +\left(32\,\frac{in}{yr}-55\,\frac{in}{yr} \right)\cdot \left(\frac{1}{12}\,\frac{ft}{in}\right)\cdot (47000\,acres)\cdot \left(43560\,\frac{ft^{2}}{acre} \right)$ $V = 1.464\times 10^{10}\,\frac{ft^{3}}{yr}$

The lake can withdraw a maximum of $1.464\times 10^{10}$ cubic feet per year to provide water supply for the Triangle area.

Intrinsic semiconduction is a property of a pure material. (True , False )

denis-greek [22]

True.

An intrinsic semiconductor is a pure semiconductor. At room temperature it behaves as an insulator because it only has a few free and hollow electrons due to thermal energy.

In an intrinsic semiconductor there are also electron fluxes and gaps, although the total current resulting is zero. This is because the action of thermal energy produces free electrons and gaps in pairs, so there are as many free electrons as there are gaps with which the total current is zero.
