    This document contains solutions to two problems involving the use of Chezy's formula to calculate flow properties in open channels. The first problem calculates the depth of flow given the discharge, width, and slope of a rectangular channel. The second problem calculates the bed slope of a trapezoidal channel given the discharge, dimensions, and Chezy's coefficient. Both problems demonstrate applying Chezy's formula which relates discharge, hydraulic radius, channel slope, and a roughness coefficient.

    EXAMPLES-2.

    Q1. A rectangular channel has a width of 2.5 m and slope of 1 in 400. Find the depth of flow if the
    discharge is 10 m3/s. Use Chezy’s formula.

    Solution:-
    Let y = depth of flow. Given channel width, B= 2.5 m, then Area of flow,
    A=Width , B x depth , y = 2.5 y. Wetted perimeter, P=B+2 y=2.5+ 2 y.
    A 2.5 y
    Then the hydraulic radius, R= = .
    P 2.5+2 y
    1
    Given discharge Q=¿ 10 m3/s; Chezy’s coefficient, C=¿ 50; and channel slope, S= for
    400
    Q= Av ¿ A∗C √ RS
    2.5 y 1 2.5 y 1.6 2
    10=2.5 y x 50
    √( )( )
    2.5+2 y 400
    3
    which becomes (
    2.5+2 y
    = )( )
    y
    OR y −2.05 y −2.56=0 . Solving by trial-and-error, we get: - y=¿ 1.85 m

    Q2. Water is flowing at the rate of 8.5 m 3/s in an earthen trapezoidal channel with bed width 9 m,
    water depth 1.2 m and side slope 1:2. Calculate the bed slope if the C-value in Chezy’s formula is
    49.5.

    Solution:-

    1 Z
    z
    Side slopes H:1V=1H : 2V
    = ½ H : 1V
    Given: Discharge, Q = 8.5 m /s, Bed width, B = 9m
    3
    Therefore, z = ½
    Flow depth, y = 1.2 m, and Chezy’s constant, C= 49.5.
    1
    Flow c/s area, A= y (B + zy) = 1.2(9+ ∗1.2) = 11.52 m2

    1 2
    Wetted perimeter, P=B+2 y √ z 2 +1=9+ 2 x 1.2 x

    + 1 = 11.68 m

    Hydraulic mean depth, R= = = 0.986


    P 11.68
    Discharge, Q= A∗v= A∗C √ RS=11.52 x 49.5 x √ 0.986 S
    8.5 2 1
    Therefore, 8.5 = 566.23√ S ; S= ( 566.23) =
