Transcribed Image Text:#1
The maximum and minimum temperature recorded at a Lake is 18°C and 15°C in
February. The mean air temperature (T), pan evaporation (Ep), wind speed (uz), relative
humidity (RH), and net radiation (Rn) in a nearby weather station were found to be 23°C,
15 mm/day, 23 m/s, 47%, 20.54 MJ/m²/day, respectively. Estimate Lake evaporation
(mm/day) using:
(a) Pan Evaporation method,
(b) Aerodynamic method,
(c) Energy balance method, and
(d) Penman method of combined aerodynamic and energy balance algorithm.
Data you may need:
19.65 T
Saturation vapor pressure, es = 611 e 273+T) where T is temperature in °C and es in Pa
(You can also use table to read off the value of e, from internet or textbook (Table 2.9 or Appendix A)
Assume, Pan Coefficient = 0.7
Bulk evaporation coefficient, CE = 1.3×10-3
Vapor pressure at elevation Z; ez = RH*es
Atmospheric pressure at sea level = 101.3 kPa
Density of air = 1.19 kg/m³ and for water = 1000 kg/m³
Bowen ratio = 0.1
Latent heat of vaporization (2) = 2.447 MJ/kg
Disregard the soil head index (G= 0)
Constants for the Penman method (Table 2.9): at 23°C, A = 0.17 and y = 0.0669 kPa/°C
