An experiment on the hydraulic jump phenomenon was conducted on the laboratory flume (rectangular channel) with a width of 0.5 m. A sluice gate is used to control the upstream depth of the jump, a tail gate to control the downstream depth and a suppressed rectangular weir is installed at the end of the channel to measure the discharge. The following data were obtained in the experiment: Sluice gate opening (upstream conjugate depth) = 10.8 cm • Downstream conjugate depth of the jump = 28 cm • Height of water above the crest of weir = 25 cm a. Calculate the discharge in the channel b. Determine the coefficient of discharge of the weir c. Compute the energy lost in the jump
