Drought conditions in the southwestern united states have


Drought conditions in the southwestern United States have prompted officials to question whether the operation of residential swimming pools should be permitted. As the chief engineer of a city that has a large number of pools, you have been asked to estimate the daily water loss due to pool evaporation. For representative conditions, you may assume water and ambient air temperatures of 25°C and an ambient relative humidity of 50%. Typ- ical pool surface dimensions are 6 m X 12 m. There is a 1.5-m-wide deck around the pool, which is raised relative to the surrounding ground. Wind blows in the direction of the long side of the pool, with velocity 2 m/s. You may assume the free stream turbulence of the air to be negligible, the surface of the water to be smooth and level with the pool deck, and the deck to be dry. What is the water loss for the pool in kilograms per day?
