A new development is being proposed over a 10 acres site. The developer wants to divide the site into 40 lots and have a single-family home at each lot. Each home will take about 40 percent of the lot size. 30% of the lot will be landscaped with shrubs, the rest of the lot will be lawns and sidewalks. After finishing developing the site, the first rainfall of the season hits the development. The rainfall lasted for 3 hours with an average of 0.51 in/hr. Geotechnical report prepared as part of the city permit requirement showed that the initial infiltration was 0.32 in/hr, the final was 0.15in/hr, and decay constant was 0.1 Shr-1. Some residents complained that there was water accumulated at their properties cause some damages. Residents threatened to take legal action against the developer. The developer hired your company to investigate what had happen. You are assigned to the project and been asked by your supervisor to perform the following calculations: 1. What is the interception?
2. What is the infiltration?
3. In your opinion and based on your analysis do you believe that the residents allegations are founded?

A3-mm-thick panel of aluminum alloy (k 177 w/m-k, c 875 j/kg-k and ? = 2770 kg/m) is finished on both sides with an epoxy coating that must be cured at or above t,-150°c for at least 5 min. the production line for the curing operation involves two steps: (1) heating in a large oven with air at ts,0-175°c and a convection coefficient of h, 40 w/m2. k, and (2) cooling in a large chamber with air at 25°c and a con- vection coefficient of he 10 w/m2.k. the heating portion of the process is conducted over a time interval te which exceeds the ime required to reach 150°c by 5 min (h = r + 300 s). the coating has an emissivity of ? = 0.8, and the temperatures of the oven and chamber walls are 175 and 25°c, respectively. if the panel is placed in the oven at an initial temperature of 25°c and removed from the chamber at a safe-to-touch tempera ture of 37°c, what is the total elapsed time for the two-step curing operation?
