A discharge factor is a ratio which compares the mass flow rate at the end of a channel or nozzle to an ideal channel or nozzle. The discharge factor for flow through an open channel of parabolic cross-section is: K-1.2 V16x+1+in(V 16² +I +4x)| where x is the ratio of the maximum water depth to breadth of the channel at the top of the water. Determine the discharge factors for x in the range 0.45 to 0.90 in steps of 0.05.
