Question

In a circular channel 2.5meters in diameter, flowing below half full, the water surface width is 2.415meter in length.

a.Compute the hydraulic radius.

b.The channel is laid on a grade of 24.146meters per mile; compute its discharge using Manning’s formula withn= 0.025.

c.For flow as in (b), compute the C value in the Chezy formula.

d.Using C in (c), and for flow as in (b), compute the value of Kutter’s nin the Kutter’s C formula. Simplify your solution, no solution by calculator or shift solve.

e.Compute the maximum velocity that may occur for the given circular channel using as in (d) and Manning’s formula.
