Given below are two statements
Statement (I) : Blaney-Criddle method uses mean temperature and monthly percentage day time hours.
Statement (II) : Blaney-Criddle method was developed for the humid condition for consumptive use computation
In light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below.
EXPLANATION
Convective Heat Transfer & Psychrometrics
- Blaney-Criddle Evapotranspiration Method:
- Statement (I): Blaney-Criddle method uses mean temperature and monthly percentage day time hours. $\implies$ Correct.
- The empirical Blaney-Criddle formula computes consumptive use factor as $f = P(0.46 T + 8.13)$, where $T$ is mean monthly temperature (°C) and $P$ is annual percentage of daytime hours.
- Statement (II): Blaney-Criddle method was developed for the humid condition for consumptive use computation. $\implies$ Incorrect.
- The Blaney-Criddle method was developed specifically for the arid and semi-arid Western United States; it requires significant correction factors when applied to humid regions.
- Conclusion: Statement (I) is correct but Statement (II) is incorrect (Option 3).
