Problem (17): water flowing in an open channel of a rectangular cross-section with width (b) transitions from a
mild slope to a steep slope (i.e., from subcritical to supercritical flow) with normal water depths of (y₁) and

Problem (14): A pump is being used to lift water from an underground
tank through a pipe of diameter (d) at discharge (Q). The total head
loss until the pump entrance can be calculated as (h₁ = K[V²/2g]), h
where (V) is the flow velocity in the pipe. The elevation difference
between the pump and tank surface is (h).
