A venturiflame is 1.3 m wide at entrance and 0.65m in the throat.Neglecting hydraulic losses in the flume, calculate the flow if the depths at the entrance and throat are 0.65m and 0.6 m respectively.A hump is now installed at the throat of height 200mm,so that a standing wave (hydraulic jump)is formed beyond the throat.What is the increase in the upstream depth when the same flow as before passes through the flume?
Q4: The flow is occurring in a rectangular channel at a velocity of (571/500) m/sec and a depth of 0.2 m. Neglecting the effect of the velocity of approach & applying the relation; Q=1.84*L*H3/2, Analyze that what should be the height of a sharp-crested weir that mustbe installed to raise the water depth upstream of the weir to 1.2 m.
