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
(y2), respectively.
Given the values of y₁ [m], y₂ [m], and b [m], calculate the discharge in the channel (Q) in [Lit/s].

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).
Given the values of h [cm], d [cm], and K [-], calculate the maximum
discharge Q [Lit/s] beyond which cavitation would take place at the
pump entrance. Assume Turbulent flow conditions.

Problem (13): A pump is being used to lift water from the bottom
tank to the top tank in a galvanized iron pipe at a discharge (Q).
The length and diameter of the pipe section from the bottom tank
to the pump are (L₁) and (d₁), respectively. The length and
diameter of the pipe section from the pump to the top tank are
(L2) and (d2), respectively.
Given the values of Q [L/s], L₁ [m], d₁ [m], L₂ [m], d₂ [m],
