A triangular roadside channel is poorly lined with riprap. The channel has side slopes of 2:1 (H:V) and longitudinal slope of 2.

5 percent. Determine the flow rate (cubic meters per second) in the channel if flow is uniform and the top width of the flowing channel is 5 meters.

Answer:

Q = 14.578 m³/s

Explanation:

Given

We use the Manning Equation as follows

Q = (1/n)*A*(∛R²)*(√S)

where

  • Q = volumetric water flow rate passing through the stretch of channel (m³/s for S.I.)
  • A = cross-sectional area of flow perpendicular to the flow direction, (m² for S.I.)
  • S = bottom slope of channel, m/m (dimensionless) = 2.5% = 0.025
  • n = Manning roughness coefficient (empirical constant), dimensionless = 0.023
  • R = hydraulic radius = A/P (m for S.I.) where :
  • A = cross-sectional area of flow as defined above,
  • P = wetted perimeter of cross-sectional flow area (m for S.I.)

we get A as follows

A = (B*h)/2

where

B = 5 m (the top width of the flowing channel)

h = (B/2)*(m) = (5 m/2)*(1/2) = 1.25 m   (the deep)

A = (5 m*1.25 m/2) = 3.125 m²

then we find P

P = 2*√((B/2)²+h²)   ⇒  P = 2*√((2.5 m)²+(1.25 m)²) = 5.59 m

⇒ R = A/P ⇒ R = 3.125 m²/5.59 m = 0.559 m

Substituting values into the Manning equation gives:

Q = (1/0.023)*(3.125 m²)*(∛(0.559 m)²)*(√0.025)

⇒ Q = 14.578 m³/s

. Using the Newton Raphson method, determine the uniform flow depth in a trapezoidal channel with a bottom width of 3.0 m and si
Over [174]

Answer:

y  ≈ 2.5

Explanation:

Given data:

bottom width is 3 m

side slope is 1:2

discharge is 10 m^3/s

slope is 0.004

manning roughness coefficient is 0.015

manning equation is written as

v =1/n R^{2/3} s^{1/2}

where R is hydraulic radius

S = bed slope

Q = Av =A 1/n R^{2/3} s^{1/2}

A = 1/2 \times (B+B+4y) \times y =(B+2y) y

R =\frac{A}{P}

P is perimeter =  (B+2\sqrt{5} y)

R =\frac{(3+2y) y}{(3+2\sqrt{5} y)}

Q = (2+2y) y) \times 1/0.015 [\frac{(3+2y) y}{(3+2\sqrt{5} y)}]^{2/3} 0.004^{1/2}

solving for y100 =(2+2y) y) \times (1/0.015) [\frac{(3+2y) y}{(3+2\sqrt{5} y)}]^{2/3} \times 0.004^{1/2}

solving for y value by using iteration method ,we get

y  ≈ 2.5

finlep [7]

Answer:

The following statements are true:

A. For flows over a flat plate, in the laminar region, the heat transfer coefficient is decreasing in the flow direction

C. For flows over a flat plate, the transition from laminar to turbulence flow only happens for rough surface

E. In general, turbulence flows have a larger heat transfer coefficient compared to laminar flows 6.

Select ALL statements that are TRUE

B. In the hydrodynamic fully developed region, the mean velocity of the flow becomes constant

D. For internal flows, if Pr>1, the flows become hydrodynamically fully developed before becoming thermally fully developed

Water enters a tank from two pipes, one with a flow rate of 0.3 kg/s and the other with a flow rate of 0.1 kg / s. The tank has
stiks02 [169]

Answer:

total amount of water after 2 min will be 84.4 kg/s

Explanation:

Given data:

one tank inflow = 0.1 kg/s

2nd tank inflow = 0.3 kg/s

3rd tank outflow = 0.03 kg/s

Total net inflow in tank is = 0.3 +0.1 =0.4 kg/s

From third point, outflow is 0.03 kg/s

Therefore, resultant in- flow = 0.4 - 0.03

Resultant inflow is  = 0.37 kg/s

Tank has initially 40 kg water

In 2 min ( 2*60 sec), total inflow in tank is 0.37*60*2 = 44.4 kg

So, total amount of water after 2 min will be = 40+44.4 = 84.4 kg

What does the line strung between the batter boards represent?
soldi70 [24.7K]

Batter boards (or battre boards, Sometimes mispronounced as "battle boads") are temporary frames, set beyond the corners of a planned foundation at precise elevations. These batter boards are then used to hold layout lines (construction twine) to indicate the limits (edges and corners) of the foundation.
