A spillway chute and the hydraulic jump stilling basin at the end of the chute are rectangular in shape with a width of 80 ft. The incoming flow has a depth of 2.60 ft at a design discharge of 10,000 cfs. Within the basin are 20 baffle blocks that are each 3.0 ft high and 3.0 ft wide. Using an effective coefficient of drag of 0.6 for the baffle blocks, based on the upstream velocity and combined frontal area of the blocks
A 7350 m long, 1050 mm concrete pipeline connects an upstream reservoir (watersurface elevation 433.3 m) to a downstream reservoir (water surface elevation 423.1 m). Adischarge valve at the downstream end is used to control flow; when this valve is fully open,the measured discharge in the pipeline is 920 L/s under the naturally available head difference.(a) Assuming fully developed turbulent flow and that all other local losses are negligible,estimate the loss coefficient k for the fully open valve (assume f = 0.015).(b) Because of increasing urban development, the flow under the natural head difference isconsidered to be inadequate and it is proposed to increase this flow with pumping. The head-capacity curve for the pump can be approximated by the equation H = 8 – 3.5Q2 in which H isthe total dynamic head on the pump (in m) and Q is the discharge (in m3/s). What is thedischarge that can now be obtained from the system where the pump is installed at a cross-section of the pipeline?

A 3m wide rectangular channel carries a flow of 6m³/s. The depth of flow at a section P is 0.5 m. A flat-topped hump is to be placed at the downstream of the section P.

TRUE or FALSE 1. The wetted perimeter of a closed-conduit flow is lesser than an open- channel flow if the area of the cross-section is the same. 2. The hydraulic diameter of an open-channel flow is greater than a closed- conduit flow if the area of the cross-section is the same. 3. The energy head at the top of an open tank or reservoir is approximately equal to the elevation head alone.
(a) A uniform flow of 300 cfs occurs at a depth of 5 ft in a long rectangular channel 10 ft wide.
