(solved), A channel is 2m wide at bottom; the length of each sloping side is 1.95 m; the width at water surface is 5.5 m the flow depth 1.2 m; and bed slope 1 in 5280. What is the discharge per minute? The values of Chezy’s C for this channel for different values of hydraulic radius R are as tabulated below.
(solved), A most efficient trapezoidal section is required to give a maximum discharge of 21.5 m3/s of water. The slope of the channel bottom is 1 in 2500. Taking C = 70 m1/2/s in Chezy’s equation, determine the dimensions of the channel. Also determine the value of Manning’s n, taking the value of velocity of flow as obtained for the channel by Chezy’s equation
