The air inside a hot-air balloon is heated to 72.00 °C (Tinitial) and then cools to 52.00 °C (Tfinal). By what percentage does the volume of the balloon change?
During a particular 30-days period, the streamflow flowing into a reservoir averaged 5.0 cubic meter per second. Water supply withdrawals from the reservoir averaged 136 mgd (million gallon per day). The only other outflow from the reservoir was 9.4 cm of evaporation from the reservoir water surface. The average water surface area of the reservoir during the 30 days was 3.75 sq.km. The reservoir had 12,560 ac-ft of water in storage at the beginning of the 30-days period. Determine the storage content at the end of the 30 days in units cu.m.

WATER RESOURCES ENGINEERING: Evaporation The temperature and relative humidity for the month of October have the following values: Mean air temperature at 4m: 18o C Maximum lake temperature: 13.5o C Maximum pan temperature: 15o C Relative humidity: 35% During the month, the evaporation measured from the pan was 9.2 cm. Determine the monthly evaporation from the lake by: a. The simple formula, assuming K = 0.75 b. The refined formula, assuming K' = 1.5 c. Solve for lake evaporation using the Aerodynamic method for evaporation using the actual vapor pressure at 4m. The wind speed at 4 m is 2.5 m/s and z0 is 0.04 cm. For calculating the saturation vapor pressure at the surface, assume mean lake temperature to be 80% of the maximum.
