Both the technicians are correct.
Explanation
Intake air temperature sensor is used in engines of vehicles to monitor the temperature of air entering the engine.
They are basically made of thermistors whose electrical resistance changes according to temperature.
Depending upon the reading and accuracy of intake air temperature sensor, the power-train control module (PCM) will decide about the air and fuel mixture ratio in the engine.
The hot air in engine requires less fuel to operate the engine parts while cold air requires more fuel to operate the engine.
The ratio of air and fuel mixture should be maintained in the engine and it is done by PCM only after getting the input from IAT. So technician B is saying correct.
Also the IAT works as a backup to support the engine coolant temperature sensor by the computer.
As the IAT checks the temperature of outside air, it will help to change the coolant temperature of the engine based on the environment.
Thus technician A is also correct. So both the technicians are correct.
Answer:
33.56 ft^3/sec.in
Explanation:
Duration = 6 hours
drainage area = 185 mi^2
constant baseflow = 550 cfs
<u>Derive the unit hydrograph using the inverse procedure </u>
first step : calculate for the volume of direct runoff hydrograph using the details in table 2 attached below
Vdrh = sum of drh * duration
= 29700 * 6 hours ( 216000 secs )
= 641,520,000 ft^3.
next step : Calculate the volume of runoff in equivalent depth
Vdrh / Area = 641,520,000 / 185 mi^2
= 1.49 in
Finally derive the unit hydrograph
Unit of hydrograph = drh / volume of runoff in equivalent depth
= 50 ft^3 / 1.49 in = 33.56 ft^3/sec.in
