Design a trapezoidal channel that is capable of conveying 45 cfs from an elevation of 5000 feet to an elevation of 4500 feet. The total length from one point to another is 15 miles. The channel is to be rough concrete lined (n = 0.02). Try to minimize the amount of excavation required for the channel. If excavation costs are $5/cubic yard, determine the excavation costs. You should try to find the most efficient channel section. Use the area of...
A trapezoidal channel has a side slope of 1:1 and a bed width of 6.0 m. A hydraulic jump with a height of 0.5 m (i.e. the difference between water surface elevation upstream and downstream of the jump) is encountered in the channel. If the channel has a discharge of 10 m3/s, determine the critical depth in the channel. Plot the momentum curve and determine the flow depth immediately upstream and downstream of the jump.
