The trapezoidal channel below must maintain a discharge of Q = 420 (m3
/s). You may assume that the channel slope is negligible.

plot the specific energy curve and determine the critical depth Dc.

***SN=21 

The trapezoidal channel below must maintain a discharge of Q = 20 x SN (m³/s). You may assume
that the channel slope is negligible.
Use MS Excel spreadsheet to plot the specific energy curve and determine the critical depth D.
Hint: You should first set up a column of normal depth D (m) ranging from 0 to SN, and then
calculate the area (A), velocity (V), energy (E) and Froude number (Fr).
