In UMzinyathi River the storage in a river reach is 80 x 103 m3 at a particular time. At that
time, the inflow into the reach is 10 m3/s and the outflow is 16 m3/s. After two hours, the inflow
and the outflow are 20 m3/s and 22 m3/s respectively. Determine the change in storage during
the two hours’ period and the storage volume after two hours.

For a given month (30 days): a 20 Km2 lake has 5 m3/s inflow, 4 m3/sec outflow, and total storage increases of 1.2X106 m3. Monthly precipitation on the lake is 12 mm. Assuming the infiltration is insignificant for the lake, determine the evaporation loss in (mm) from the lake. Part. 2 (2.5 marks): The evaporation rate from the surface of a 160 m2 lake is 436 m/day. Estimate the depth change in the lake in feet during a 1-year period...

A lake has a surface area of 2 km2. During the month of June (30-day), the inflow rate (I) to the lake was 1.0 m3/s and outflow rate (Q) from the lake was 0.75 m3/s. During this period, the total amount of precipitation (P) on the lake surface was 10 cm, the total amount of evaporation (E) was measured at a nearby pan as 15 cm. (The pan coefficient is 0.7) Calculate the storage change (ΔS) for this period in...

A 4000-square kilometer watershed receives 102 cm of precipitation annually. The average flow of the river draining the watershed is 32.4 m3/s. Infiltration is estimated to be 5.5 x 10-7 cm/s and evapotranspiration is estimated to be 40 cm/year. (a) Determine the annual change in storage in the watershed in m3. (b) Compute the runoff coefficient, C (runoff/precipitation) for the watershed.

A tank of 0.1 m3 volume initially containing nitrogen at 25 C and 1 bar will be filled with compressed nitrogen at a rate of 20 mol/s. The nitrogen coming from the compressor and into the tank is at an absolute pressure of 110 bar and a temperature of 80 C. The filling process occurs sufficiently rapidly that there is negligible heat transfer between the gas and the tank walls, and a valve is closed to stop the filling process...

The fuel element of a nuclear reactor is in the shape of a plane wall of thickness L = 20 mm. It is being maintained at a constant temperature of 250ºC on both of its surfaces. At normal operating power, heat is generated uniformly within the element at a volumetric rate of q = 107 W/m3. A departure from the steady-state conditions associated with normal operation will occur if there is a change in the generation rate. Consider a sudden...

Let x(t) ∈ [0,1] be the fraction of maximum capacity of a live-music venue at time t (in hours) after the door opens. The rate at which people go into the venue is modeled by dx dt = h(x)(1−x), (1) where h(x) is a function of x only. 1. Consider the case in which people with a ticket but outside the venue go into it at a constant rate h = 1/2 and thus dx/dt = 1/2 (1−x). (a) Find...
