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?
A circular corrugated-metal water channel has a slope of1:800 and a diameter of 6 ft. (a) Estimate the normal discharge,in gal/min, when the water depth is 4 ft. (b) For thiscondition, calculate the average wall shear stress.
Uniform water flow in a wide brick channel (n=0.015) of slope of 0.020 moves over a 10-cm bump as in Fig. 7a. A slight depression in water surface results. If the minimum water depth over the bump is 50 cm, compute the velocity over the bump and the flow rate per meter of width.
