Maximum Intensity in General Form Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Maximum Intensity = (Constant K*Return Period^(Coefficient x))/(Duration of Excess Rainfall in Hours+Coefficient a)^(Constant n)
i_max = (K*T_r^(x))/(D+a)^(n)
This formula uses 7 Variables

Variables Used

Maximum Intensity - (Measured in Centimeter per Hour) - Maximum Intensity is the ratio of the total amount of rain (rainfall depth) falling during a given period to the duration of the period.
Constant K - Constant K is for the catchment to be determined by flood hydrograph characteristics of the catchment.
Return Period - Return Period [Years] is an average time or an estimated average time between events such as earthquakes, floods, landslides, or a river discharge flows to occur.
Coefficient x - Coefficient x for the area represented by the catchment station under consideration.
Duration of Excess Rainfall in Hours - (Measured in Hour) - Duration of Excess Rainfall in Hours is time during which continuous rain is observed at a given point or within a given area.
Coefficient a - Coefficient a for area represented by the station or coefficient for International Passenger Forecast.
Constant n - Constant n is for the catchment to be determined by the effective rainfall of the catchment.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Constant K: 4 --> No Conversion Required
Return Period: 150 --> No Conversion Required
Coefficient x: 1.5 --> No Conversion Required
Duration of Excess Rainfall in Hours: 2.42 Hour --> 2.42 Hour No Conversion Required
Coefficient a: 0.6 --> No Conversion Required
Constant n: 3 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

i_max = (K*T_r^(x))/(D+a)^(n) --> (4*150^(1.5))/(2.42+0.6)^(3)

Evaluating ... ...

i_max = 266.793995483436

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.000741094431898434 Meter per Second -->266.793995483436 Centimeter per Hour (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

266.793995483436 ≈ 266.794 Centimeter per Hour <-- Maximum Intensity

What is Precipitation?

Precipitation is a form of water from the atmosphere. It is a term in meteorology, and includes rain, snow, sleet, ice pellets dew, frost, and hail. These form by condensation from atmospheric water vapor, and fall under gravity. Fog and mist are not precipitation but suspensions.

How to Calculate Maximum Intensity in General Form?

Maximum Intensity in General Form calculator uses Maximum Intensity = (Constant K*Return Period^(Coefficient x))/(Duration of Excess Rainfall in Hours+Coefficient a)^(Constant n) to calculate the Maximum Intensity, The Maximum Intensity in General Form formula is defined as an extreme precipitation instance, within a critical duration for a river basin, state or region. Maximum Intensity is denoted by i_max symbol.

How to calculate Maximum Intensity in General Form using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Maximum Intensity in General Form, enter Constant K (K), Return Period (T_r), Coefficient x (x), Duration of Excess Rainfall in Hours (D), Coefficient a (a) & Constant n (n) and hit the calculate button.
