    Scope:
    This document details the design rainfall calculation for Job of EIL at BPCL Kochi.

    Hourly Rainfall Calculation:


    Annual daily maximum rainfall values are converted to 1 hour short duration rainfall using IMD Formula,

    where, Pt = Rainfall in mm for t hours duration,


    P24 = Daily Rainfall data in mm,
    t = Shorter duration in hours.

    Gumbel’s Extreme Value distribution method is used for calculating design rainfall intensity in mm/hr.

    The rainfall (PT) corresponding of a given return period (T) using the Gumbel’s Distribution is given by,

    where, Pave = Average Annual Daily Maximum Rainfall,


    S = Standard Deviation of Annual Daily Maximum Rainfall.

    The Mean and Standard Deviation are calculated using this formula,

    and,

    Mean of hourly rainfall from 1970 to 2022 for 1 hour duration = 39.2 mm
    Standard Deviation of hourly rainfall from 1970 to 2022 for 1 hour duration = 13.11 mm

    K = Gumbel Frequency Factor.

    where, T = Return Period in years.

    For 50 years Return Period,


    Frequncy Factor, K = 2.592
    Design Rainfall for 1 hour duration, Pt = 73.19 mm

    Intensity of Rainfall, IT (in mm/hr) is given by,

    where, Td = duration in hours. (1 hour)

    Design Intensity from Gumbel's Distribution, IT = 73.19 mm/hr

    Empirical Equations for corresponding return period with Correlation Coefficient

    duration frequency curves for narsapur mandal, telangana state, India. International Journal of
    Research in Engineering and Technology, 5(6), 109-113.)

    Return Period Empirical Constants Intensity, Correlation Coefficient,


    (Year) x y i = x.(td)^-y R
    5 653 0.66 i = 653*(td)^-0.66 1
    10 770.2 0.66 i = 770.2*(td)^-0.66 1
    25 919.8 0.66 i = 919.8*(td)^-0.66 0.999
    50 1035 0.66 i = 1035*(td)^-0.66 0.999
    100 1142 0.66 i = 1142*(td)^-0.66 0.999

    To estimate the maximum rainfall intensity for different duration and return periods, the following
    empirical equation is used.
    i = x * (td)-y

    where, i = Rainfall Intensity in mm/hr,


    td = Rainfall Duration in minutes and
    x and y are the Empirical Constants.

    IT = i * R

    For 50 years Return Period and Time Duration, td = 1 hour,

    IT = 1035 * (1 * 60) (-0.66) * 0.999 = 69.33 mm/hr

    Design Intensity from Empirical Equation, IT = 69.33 mm/hr
