Problem 4. Consider the design of a storm sewer system. The sewer flow carrying capacity Qc(ft3s) is
determined by Manning's equation:
Qc=0.463nD83S12
where n is Manning's roughness coefficient, D is the pipe
diameter in ft, and S is the pipe slope ). The statistical
properties of the flow carrying capacity parameters are
listed in the table. Assume that the system parameters are
independent.
Problem 5. In problem 4, assume that only the pipe diameter D is a random variable and is lognormal distributed with mean 3.0ft and coefficient of variation of 0.02. Assume the other parameters are constant with n=0.015 and S=0.005. Using the exact (analytical) solutions, compute:
a) The mean and variance of flow carrying capacity.
b) The probability distribution of flow carrying capacity.
c) The probability that flow carrying capacity of the system exceeds 30 cubic feet per second.
