Take note: Answer and write your solution on a clean paper clearly. During a flood flow the depth of water in a 12 m wide rectangular channel was found to be 3.5 m and 3.3 m at two sections 300 m apart. The drop in the water-surface elevation was found to be 0.18 m. Assuming Manning’s coefficient to be 0.023, determine the following: a. Average value of k? b. Estimate the flood discharge through the channel ?

A production well was discharged and tested through an atmospheric silencer at sea level (1 bar absolute) using a lip pipe with a diameter of 24.5 cm and a weir box with a 90 ° V-notch weir. The well was flowing at a wellhead pressure of 7 bar gauge and the measured lip pipe pressure and weir height were 3 bar gauge and 0.11 m, respectively. Calculate the discharge enthalpy and total mass flow of the well.
