Question
4. A rectangular channel 5 m wide carries a discharge of 15+Y m3/s. The observed velocity at a particular point in the channel is 2.0 m/s. (Y= 3).
a. What is the specific energy of the flow at this point?
b. What is the critical depth and critical velocity in the channel?
c. hat will be the step up necessary that will produce critical depth?
d. If you have to create critical depth by narrowing the width of the channel what will be width?
e. If you decide to create critical depth using slope, calculate the slope with n=0.03.

- QUESTION 30 In the figure shown, sub-critical uniform flow occurs in a 1.2 m width rectangular channel at the depth of 0.6 m. A hump of height 10 cm is placed in the bottom of the channel. Flow rate of the channel is 0.8 m/s. Assuming no energy losses, 1. Show that the flow depth on the step is 0.453 m(Y2) 2. If the flow depth on the step were to be critical depth (Y2) calculate the minimum height of the step (AH) Y-0.6 m Y: Q=0.8 m'/s DAH = 0.1 marrow_forward4.3arrow_forwardFor a constant specific energy of 6.60 ft in a rectangular channel 10 ft wide, determine (a) the critical depth (ft), (b) the critical velocity (ft/s), (c) the channel bed slope to maintain critical depth, and (d) the maximum flow (cfs) that may occur.

- 1- Uniform flow passes through a rectangular channel having a width of 4 m. The channel carriers a discharge of 12 m³/s with a depth of 3 m at section 1. The bed is raised in section 2 by 20 cm and the velocity distribution changes due to bed roughness. Note: The energy loss is 10% of the velocity head at section 2. Velocity profile in section 2 can be expressed by a linear equation as v ky2. a) Write the energy equation b) Calculate the flow depth at section 2 c) Calculate the Froude number at sections 1 and 2 of Side vehw Y/₂ Azarrow_forwardb4arrow_forward
