Q1:
A canal of trapezoidal section has bed width of 8 m and bed slope of 1 in 4000. If the depth
of flow is 2.4 m and side slopes of the channel are 1 horizontal to 3 vertical, determine the
average velocity and the discharge carried by the channel. Also compute the average shear
stress at the channel boundary. Take C = 55.
Given y = Emin, prove the following statement: Velocity head is equal to
half the hydraulic depth at the critical flow condition.
Compute the wetted perimeter and hydraulic radil for a conduit with a cross sectional area of 10 square feet if the section is (a) circular flowing full and (b) semi-circular open channel.

- Water flows over a dam into a rectangular channel of width b (out of page). At the bottom of the dam, the depth of flow is h₁. As you may have seen on watching rapid channel flow, the water may suddenly change elevation to height h₂ as it passes through a highly disturbed region called the hydraulic jump. If velocity is assumed uniform at 1 and 2, compute the height h2 using the control volume analysis. Take the pressures at 1 and 2 as hydrostatic, and assume that the flow is steady. Neglect friction at the channel bed and walls. (Courtesy of the Wright Water Engineers, Inc. and ASDSO) Hydraulic jump h₁ = 3 ft V₁ = 25 ft/s BE 2 h₂ =? V₂ = ? (a) Find the cubic equation, in terms of h₁, V₁, and g, that you must solve for the downstream depth h₂ of the water channel. (b) For h₁ = 3 ft and V₁ = 25 ft/s, find the downstream depth h₂. Use the standard value for g. Note that you are solving a cubic equation, and only one of the solutions is correct.arrow_forward4.
