The rectangular channel shown in the following figure has a width of 10 ft and transports water at 19,229 ft3/min. If the elevation of the channel bed drops by 0.75 ft, determine the specific energy (in ft) after the depression. Provide your answer with two decimals. Note: The solution method is the same as for a rise except the Δh term will be negative to account for the depression.

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 ?
For the two-dimensional flow system shown below (units in meters):Compute the total flow rate under the Dam. X = 4, Y = 8. Note 1: Point A is located in the middle point of the equipotential lines. Point B is located in the middle point of the flow lines.Note 2: Assume e=0.8 (void ratio) and k=10^-3 cm/s (coeff. of permeability).Note 3: Datum is located at the bottom level of the water (right side of Dam).Note 4: Remember, the figure is drawn to scale. So, use the value of 2X+Y to estimate any dimension that you consider necessary.
