In a given year, a catchment with an area of 200 km2 received 1300 mm of rainfall. The average evaporative energy flux due to evapotranspiration was 45 Watts/m2. Assuming negligible change in soil and groundwater storage, and also negligible interception. Estimate the average rate for that year, for the river draining the catchment (in both mm/year and m3/s).

Suppose that we have a reservoir that has a surface area of 50 acres, with an average depth when full of 15 meters. [Conversion: 1 acre = 4096.86 square meters] If the reservoir were to start out with a depth of 0 meters and eventually be filled to a depth of 15 meters, (1) how much volume of water will have been added in the filling of the reservoir from 0 meters depth to 15 meters depth? (2) What mass...

2. Assume a consumption function C = 100 + 0.8(Y-T), and let G = 200, T = 200, I = 100. a. First, suppose there is just a tax cut alone, increasing T from 200 to 250. Use the relevant Keynesian multiplier to compute the change in output. (5 pts) b. If instead, there is an increase in government spending from 200 to 250. By how much will output change? (5 pts) c. Now suppose there is a simultaneous action...

A piston–cylinder device contains 5 kg of steam at 100°C with a quality of 50 percent. This steam undergoes two processes as follows: (1-2) Heat is transferred to the steam in a reversible manner while the temperature is held constant until the steam exists as a saturated vapor.(2-3) The steam expands in an adiabatic, reversible process until the pressure is 15 kPa. Sketch these processes with respect to the saturation lines on a single TS diagram and determine the heat...
