Consider water flow through two identical channels with square flow sections of 4 m × 4 m. Now the two channels are combined, forming a 8-m-wide channel. The flow rate is adjusted so that the flow depth remains constant at 4 m. Determine the percent increase in flow rate as a result of combining the channels.
Water is to be transported in an unfinished-concrete rectangular channel with a bottom width of 4 ft at a rate of 51 ft3/s. The terrain is such that the channel bottom drops 2 ft per 1000 ft length. Determine the minimum height of the channel under uniform-flow conditions. What would your answer be if the bottom drop is just 1 ft per 1000 ft length?
Water is released from a 12-m-deep reservoir into a 6-m-wide open channel through a sluice gate with a 1-m-high opening at the channel bottom. If the flow depth downstream from the gate is measured to be 3 m, determine the rate of discharge through the gate.
