Water at 65°F flows at a depth of 1.4 ft with an average velocity of 10 ft/s in a wide rectangular channel. Determine (a) the Froude number, (b) the critical depth, and (c) whether the flow is subcritical or supercritical. What would your response be if the flow depth were 0.2 ft
Water flowing in a wide channel at a depth of 2 ft and a velocity of 40 ft/s undergoes a hydraulic jump. Determine the flow depth, velocity, and Froude number after the jump, and the head loss associated with the jump.
In flowing from section (1) to section (2) along a rectangular open channel, the water depth decreases by a factor of three and the Froude number changes from a subcritical value of 0.7 to a supercritical value of 3.4. Determine the channel width at (2) if it is 8 ft. wide at section (1). Assume stead-state flow.
