1. A rectangular channel 1.8 m wide conveys water at a
depth of 1.2 m.
A. UNIFORM FLOW
a. What is the velocity of flow if it is laid on a slope
- the same depth, cross sectional area and velocity for
of 0.002 and n= 0.012?
a length of flow
b. What is the discharge if the channel slopes 0.1°
- the channel bed is parallel to the egl.
and n = 0.016? Use Kutter’s formula for C.
c. What is the velocity of flow if S = 0.000263 and f
= 0.02?

2. The figure shows a natural channel flow consisting of the
main channel and two equal flood plains on the sides.
Assume the slope of the channel is 0.0002, n=0.02 for the
main and n=0.04 for the flood plains.
a. What is the estimated discharge in the main
channel?
b. What is the total discharge?
c. If the total discharge is to be contained in an
asphalt-lined semicircular channel with n=0.016,
what diameter is required?

3. An open channel is to be designed to carry 2.6 m 3/s of


water at a slope of 0.0009. The channel material has n =
0.014.
a. Compute the depth for a semi-circular section.
b. Compute the depth for a rectangular section.
c. Compute the depth for a trapezoidal section.

4. A trapezoidal canal has bottom width of 5 m and side


slopes of 1H to 2V. The flow is 30 m3/s when the depth
of flow is 1.20 m. Use n = 0.013.
a. Calculate the specific energy.
b. What is the slope of the channel bed?
c. Calculate the boundary shearing stress.

5. Water flows in a brickwork rectangular channel (n =


0.015) 2 m wide, on a slope of 5 m/km.
a. Find the flow rate when the normal depth is 50
cm.
b. If the normal depth remains 50 cm, find the
channel width which will triple the flow rate.

6. The trapezoidal channel is made of brickwork (n = 0.015)


and slopes at 1:500. Determine the flow rate if the
normal depth is 80 cm.

7. The finished – concrete channel shown in the figure is


designed, without the barrier, for a flow rate of 6 m3/s
at a normal depth of 1 m. For finished concrete, n =
0.012.
a. Determine the design slope of the channel.
b. Determine the percentage reduction in flow if
the channel is divided in the center by the
proposed barrier.
