Sediment transport

Sediment transport or Soil transport is the movement of solid particles, usually due to the combination of gravitational forces acting on the sediment, and the movement of the liquid at which the sediment enters. Soil erosion occurs in natural systems where the particles are sandstones (sand, rocks), mud, or clay; the liquid is air, water, or ice; and the gravitational force that works to move particles to the landing surface. Sediment transportation or soil migration due to the movement of liquids occurs in rivers, lakes, lakes, oceans, and other bodies of water as a result of currents and waves. Transportation is also caused by glaciers as they flow, and to places on earth under the influence of wind. Soil erosion due to gravity alone is possible in most sloping areas, including hills, scarves, cliffs, and the continental shelf — the continental boundary of the slope.

Take note: Answer and write your solution on a clean paper clearly. During a flood flow the depth of water in a 12 m wide rectangular channel was found to be 3.5 m and 3.3 m at two sections 300 m apart. The drop in the water-surface elevation was found to be 0.18 m. Assuming Manning’s coefficient to be 0.023, determine the following: a. Average value of k? b. Estimate the flood discharge through the channel ?
10 In a channel of rectangular cross section with a slope of 1 in 1000, the discharge is to be 1,4 m³/s when the channel is running full. Its depth is half as its breadth. If the channel is roughly excavated, the coefficient of discharge C is 27 in SI units, and the Chezy formula is V = C √(Rs). If the bottom and side slopes are finished smoothly, C = 81 (R = hydraulic radius, s = slope) Assuming the cost of excavation /m³ is twice the cost of smooth finishing /m² Compare the costs of the two types of channels.
