A rectangular flume of planed timber (n=0.012) slopes 0.5 ft per 1000 ft. (i)Compute the discharge if the width is 7 ft and the depth of water is 3.5 ft. (ii) What would be thedischarge if the width were 3.5 ft and depth of water is 7 ft? (iii) Which of the two forms wouldhave greater capacity and which would require less lumber?
Figure shows a tunnel section on the Colorado River Aqueduct. The area of the water cross section is 191 ft 2 , and the wetted perimeter is 39.1 ft. The flow is 1600 cfs. If n=0.013 for the concrete lining, find the slope.
7.48 An engineer is making an estimate for a home owner. This owner has a small stream (Q= 1.4 cfs, T = 40°F) that is located at an elevation H = 34 ft above the owner's residence. The owner is proposing to dam the stream, diverting the flow through a pipe (penstock). This flow will spin a hydraulic turbine, which in turn will drive a generator to produce electrical power. Estimate the maximum power in kilowatts that can be generated if there is no head loss and both the turbine and generator are 100% efficient. Also, estimate the power if the head loss is 5.5 ft, the turbine is 70% efficient, and the generator is 90% efficient. Penstock Turbine and generator Problem 7.48
