Consider the same rectangular channel as in the previous problem (4.0 m wide, filled with water to 6.0 m, and walls of corrugated metal). If the slope is 0.65°, estimate the volume flow rate of the water.
A trapezoidal channel having a bottom slope of 0.001 is carrying a flow of 30 m/s. The bottom width is 10.0 m and the side slopes are 2H to 1V. A control structure is built at the downstream end which raises the water depth at the downstream end to 5.0 m. Compute the water surface profile till 1.20 m. Manning n is 0.013 and a = 1. Select an appropriate Month for your calculations.
Please read the question carefully and provide the correct solution with simple steps fast. Please answer quickly.
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.
