- Water at 20°C flows at a depth of 0.4 m with an average velocity of 4 m/s in a rectangular channel. Determine the specific energy of the water and whether the flow is subcritical or supercritical.arrow_forwardA 3-ft-diameter semicircular channel made of unfinished concrete is to transport water to a distance of 1 miuniformly. If the flow rate is to reach 90 ft3/s when the channel is full, determine the minimum elevation difference across the channel.arrow_forwardWater is released from a 12-m-deep reservoir into a 6-m-wide open channel through a sluice gate with a 1-m-high opening at the channel bottom. If the flow depth downstream from the gate is measured to be 3 m, determine the rate of discharge through the gate.arrow_forward
- Water flowing through a sluice gate undergoes a hydraulic jump, as shown. The velocity of the water is 1.25 m/s before reaching the gate and 4 m/s after the jump. Determine the flow rate of water through the gate per meter of width, the flow depths y1 and y2, and the energy dissipation ratio of the jump.arrow_forwardAfter heavy rain, water flows on a concrete surface at an average velocity of 1.3 m/s. If the water depth is 2 cm, determine whether the flow is subcritical or supercritical.arrow_forwardHow is the location of the hydraulic grade line determined for open-channel flow? How is it determined at the outlet of a pipe discharging to the atmosphere?arrow_forward
- How is the total mechanical energy of a fluid during steady one-dimensional flow through a wide rectangular channel expressed in terms of heads? How is it related to the specific energy of the fluid?arrow_forwardWater discharges into a 7-m-wide rectangular horizontal channel from a sluice gate and undergoes a hydraulic jump. The flow depth and velocity before the jump are 0.65 m and 5 m/s, respectively. The wasted power potential due to the hydraulic jump is (a) 158 kW (b) 112 kW (c) 67.3 kW (d) 50.4 kW (e) 37.6 kWarrow_forwardDuring steady and uniform flow through an open channel of rectangular cross section, a person claims that the specific energy of the fluid remains constant. A second person claims that the specific energy decreases along the flow because of the frictional effects and thus head loss. With which person do you agree? Explain.arrow_forward
- Water flows half-full through a hexagonal channel of bottom width 2 m at a rate of 30 m3/s. Determine (a) the average velocity and (b) whether the flow is subcritical and supercriticalarrow_forwardHow is the specific energy of a fluid flowing in an open channel defined in terms of heads?arrow_forwardWater at 20°C flows in a partially full 4-m-diameter circular channel at an average velocity of 2 m/s. If the maximum water depth is 1 m, determine the hydraulic radius, the Reynolds number, and the flow regime.arrow_forward
