Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Consider a reservoir with a net radiation of 600 W/m², sensible heat loss of 250 W/m², and heat gained is 50 W/m². Calculate evaporation Qe, and what implications would an increase in net radiation have on water resource management?
💡 Hint: Apply the energy balance concept.
A research team is estimating evaporation from a water body and records net radiation of 400 W/m², a latent heat of vaporization of 2260 kJ/kg, and a water density of 1000 kg/m³. Determine the evaporation rate E in kg/m²/s.
💡 Hint: Consider the importance of correct unit conversions.
