Question 1 a. An approximately circular catchment area of 31.195 km catchment area is located in a desert region with no vegetation. The average annual precipitation is 200 mm. The average annual outflow from the catchment is 43200 m/d. Compute the average annual evaporation from the catchment in mm and the average daily evaporation in m/d. In this catchment area, an irrigation project was developed covering the size of the trapezoid ABCD. The coordinates A, B, C and Dare (3000,...

A rural catchment area of 5,5 km² has an average slope of 3% is covered by grass with clay soil. The length of the main watercourse is 2 km with an average slope of 2% and overland flow can be ignored. Calculate the peak run-off by means of the Rational method at the time when the catchment received 40mm of rain.

(b) The daily design load curve of a residential area is given in the table below. The hydropower facility providing the power has an effective head of 15 m and a plant efficiency of 0.85. What is the minimum daily flow (m3/s) that could meet the demand? What is the minimum required storage capacity (within-day storage) to meet the peak load? If the daily flowrate were 320m3/s, what would be the minimum required storage capacity? Would there be some water...

A small coastal town in Queensland is subject to an increasing permanent population and also a transient influx of tourists during the summer period. Council already receives frequent complaints of restricted water supply. The water supply system comprises a rising trunk main from the treatment plant A to the service reservoir B, the service reservoir, and service mains to the consumption areas. Two consumption areas C and D at different elevations are gravity supplied from the service reservoir. The service...

Design a heat exchanger for a gas turbine exhaust A paper mill has just purchased a 5.7 MW gas turbine for electrical power generation. To increase the overall plant efficiency and reduce the payback time it has been decided to use the exhaust gases to heat water in a heat exchanger. The company requires 12.7 tonnes/hr of steam at a pressure of 18.9 Bar and at a temperature of 315oC. The temperature and pressure at inlet to the heat exchanger...

Please answer all PROBLEM 1 A three-litre four-stroke diesel engine develops 12 kW per m3 of free air inducted per minute. The volumetric efficiency is 82 % at 3600 rpm referred to atmospheric condition of 1 bar and 27 oC. A rotary compressor which is mechanically coupled to the engine is used to supercharge the engine. The pressure ratio and the isentropic efficiency of the compressor are 1.6 and 75 % respectively. Calculate the percentage increase in brake power due...
