Question 4(20 marks)
A reservoir having a water spread of 30,000m2 and water storage of 1 million
cubic metre receives the Sun's radiation at average rate of 0.03 Langley/sec and
6% of this radiation is re-radiated back into atmosphere. The average
temperature rise of the water on that day was observed to be 2C. Make
necessary assumptions and estimate the average rate of evaporation in mmhr.
Assume that 1 Langley equals 1.1calcm2; Latent heat of evaporation is 525calg;
Specific heat of the water is 1.02calg??C
