A rectangular channel 2 m wide has a bottom slope of
0.01 and a roughness
coefficient of 0.017. A sluice gate 2 m wide is located in the
channel. The sluice
gate has a contraction coefficient of 0.61 and a discharge
coefficient of 0.58. The
depth of water just upstream from the gate is 2 m. The depth of
water just
downstream from the gate is 0.5 m. Determine how far upstream from
the gate
the depth of water will be within 1% of the normal depth.

Using the rational method, determine the amount of runoff that
would occur for a paved parking lot that is 100m * 50m and is
uniformly sloped from one long edge to the other long edge at a
rate of 2%. The time of concentration for this parking is 4
minutes. The five-year storm with duration of 4 minutes has an
intensity of 10 mm/hr. The runoff coefficient for this parking lot
is 0.80.آ [Q=0.166 CIA]
The runoff from part (a) is to be contained in a trapezoidal
drainage ditch with the following properties: side slope = 2m
horizontal run for every 1 m rise, width of invert = 2m,
longitudinal slope = 0.005 m/m, and Manning's number = 0.08. If the
maximum permittedآ depth of water is 100 mm, using Manning's
equation for open channel flow, determine if the ditch will be able
to accommodate the flow in part (a).

Describe any laws, regulations or policies that relate to the efforts of ensuring and governing low cabon, plastic free and green environment in Malaysia. Decide whether the existing laws in Malaysia are sufficient to regulate various issues pertaining to low carbon, plastic free and green environment. If yes, please explain why you think so and if not, please suggest any practicable enhancements to the existing laws or national policies in order to better improve the enforcement.

Sandstone pore of 20 mm in diameter and 100 mm long
with porosity of 15% is prepared for
core flood experiment. The sandstone pore is fully (100%) saturated
with water by injecting
water with viscosity of 1cp at volumetric flow rate of 20 cubic
mm/sec. A pressure drop of 1
atm was recorded across the pore during the injection
process.
i. What is the absolute permeability of the sandstone pore sample
in mD?
ii. What is the pore volume of sandstone sample?
iii. The sandstone pore sample is flooded by oil with viscosity of
2 cp until
water saturation reaching to 25%. Calculate the oil volume inside
the pore
at the end of flood
