A rectangular channel is 3.5 m wide and conveys a discharge of 15.0 m³/s at a depth of 2.0 m. It is proposed to reduce the width of the channel at a hydraulic structure. Assuming the transition to be horizontal and the flow to be frictionless, determine the water surface elevations upstream and downstream of the contraction when the constricted width is a) 2.5 m and b) 2.75 m.

2.Water flows through a rectangular channel with a width b = 2 m and a height (Pw) = 1 m, the flow rate ranges from Qmin = 0.02 m^3/s and Qmax = 0.60 m^3/s. This flow rate is measured using Rectangular sharp-crested weir Triangular sharp-crested with = 90^o Broad-crested weir Plot onto the graph Q = Q(H) for each type of weir and give your analysis which type of weir is most appropriate to apply
Water flows in a rectangular channel that is 0.5 m wide as shown. The upstream depth is 70 mm. The water surface rises 40 mm as it passes over a portion where the channel bottom rises 10 mm. If viscous effects are negligible. What is the flow rate? (2) 100 mm (1) 70 mm 10 mm
Uniform water flow in a wide brick channel of slope 0.02°moves over a 10-cm bump as in Fig.. A slightdepression in the water surface results. If the minimumwater depth over the bump is 50 cm, compute (a) thevelocity over the bump and (b) the flow rate per meterof width.
A sharp-crested triangular weir with a notch angle of 80° is used to measure the discharge rate of water from a large lake into a spillway. If a weir with half the notch angle (? = 40°) is used instead, determine the percent reduction in the flow rate. Assume the water depth in the lake and the weir discharge coefficient remain unchanged.
