1. Water is flowing through a concrete rectangular channel at a rate of 0.5 m'/s. If the manning's
roughness for concrete is n= 0.015, and the bed slope (s) is 1 in1000, determine the most
economical section; i.e. width (b) and depth (d). (6%)
2. A long wide rectangular channel carrying a specific discharge (q)of 2.5 m'/s per meter width,
has a slope of 1 in2750. If the manning's roughness coefficient (n) is 0.015:
a) Calculate the critical depth and normal depth.(3%)
b) Describe specific energyin short, and determine the specific energy for the given
channel.(2.5%)
c) Decide whether the flow is in sub critical, super critical, or critical condition.(1.5%)
3. Using Buckingham Pi method of dimensional analysis (the method of repeating variables),
show that the flow rate of a liquid (Q)over a notch can be given by the dimensionless group.
(6%)
Q =Kg H?s
Where H is head, pis density, u is dynamic viscosity, o is surface tension of liquid, g is gravitational
acceleration and k is constant.
Hint: list all variables and follow the procedure. Surface tension (0) is expressed as force/length. The ret
variables are common.
4. A small channel is going to be constructed at a scale of 15:1 to study the flow characteristics of a
larger navigation channel. Remould's numberlaw will be used as the viscous forces are the dominant
ones.
If the samefluid (water) is used in both the model and prototype channels. (6%)
a. Determine the time ratio (t), velocity ratio (v), and discharge ratio (Q).
b. What should be the discharge (On) in the model channel if the discharge in the prototype is 150
m/s?
