gz - Lvqi = 302525 J/kg and a total specific humidity qt = qv+qi= 16.2 g/kg. Determine its temperature T, water vapor and liquid water specific humidities. Note that in saturated air qv = qsat. Compare the virtual temperature in the cloud with the mean state. Which has the smallest air density?
What wind speed is needed for a pollution plume emitted at 45oN latitude and 3-km altitude to circumnavigate the globe back to the original position in six days if it travels without changing latitude or altitude?
Satellite feeds show that a wind has speed of 10 km/h going to the south.
It will meet Habagat (southwest monsoon) whose speed is 7.72 m/s which
is moving 30° southwest. Suppose that no other force affects these winds,
and they meet, is there a need for PAGASA to issue a public storm warning
signal (PSWS)? Yes or No? Why?
Note: Conversion of units is needed to solve the problem.
Show all necessary solutions with diagrams and label all vectors properly.
Resultant vector's magnitude and direction.
Typhoon signal number 1 has 30 to 60 km/h wind speed.

Both buildings are maintained at 21°C, and the infiltration rate for both buildings is 1.2 air changes per hour (ACH). That is, the entire air in the building is replaced completely by the outdoor air 1.2 times per hour on a day when the outdoor temperature at both locations is 10°C. Disregarding latent heat, determine the ratio of the heat losses by infiltration in the two cities.arrow_forward
- Bushfires in Australia have been worsening for more than two decades as escalating drought places pressure on forest resilience and recovery. Bushfires are likely to occur across Australia through at least March 2022 and are a typical feature of the summer and early fall in the country, particularly after long dry spells or during spans of extremely high temperatures. One time, there’s a bushfire occurred in Southeast Australia and the local government will put the fire out before it burns more land.

You now inject cloud droplets into the chamber without letting any air leak out.
