1. Population projection models

P0, P1, P2 = three successive census populations

Pt = future population

Psat = saturation population

Dt, n = period of projection, time interval

K, K1, K2, a, b  = constants

 

Arithmetic method (equation 2.3 in McGhee):

Uniform percentage model (equation 2.5 in McGhee): 

Logistic model (equation 2.6 in McGhee):

where:

    (equation 2.7 in McGhee):

    (equation 2.8 in McGhee):

    (equation 2.9 in McGhee):

Declining growth method (equation 2.12 in McGhee):

 


2. Variations in water use

Goodrich formula (equation 2.13 in McGhee):

where: p = % of annual average rate and t = period in days.

Fire flow (equation 2.14 in McGhee):

where F = flow in USG/min, A = total floor area in sq.ft., and C is a fire coefficient.

 


3. Basic fluid mechanics

Bernoulli's equation (equation 3.1 in McGhee):

Reynold's number (equation 3.2 in McGhee):

Darcy-Weisbach equation (equation 3.3 in McGhee):

Thickness of laminar sub-layer (equation 3.6 in McGhee):

Hazen-Williams equation (equation 3.8 in McGhee):

Head losses in fittings (equation 3.12 in McGhee):

Head loss in abrubt expansions (Borda-Carnot loss, equation 3.13 in McGhee):

Head loss in gradual enlargements (central angle exceeding 45 deg, equation 3.14 in McGhee):

Chezy equation (equation 3.26 in McGhee):

Manning's equation (3.34 in McGhee):

Ditto, another form (equation 3.35 in McGhee):

Specific energy (equation 3.36 in McGhee):

Critical depth for a wide, rectangular section (equation 3.38 in McGhee):

Critcal velocity, ditto (equation 3.40 in McGhee): 

Critical flow for non-rectangular sections (equation 3.41 in McGhee):

Sharp-crested suppressed rectangular weir (equation 3.48 in McGhee):

Ditto, for h/w < 0.2, (equation 3.49 in McGhee):

Triangular weirs (equation 3.51 in McGhee):
