Problem 1
Water flows with a velocity of 3 m/s at a depth of 1.5 m in a trapezoidal channel with a 2-m base and
sides sloping at 45°. It empties into a circular pipe and flows at 2 m/s. What is the diameter if the pipe
flows full?
4. The discharge from a 150 mm diameter orifice under a head of 3.05m and coefficient
of discharge, C = 0.60 flows into a rectangular channel and over a rectangular
suppressed weir. The channel is 1.83m wide and the weir has height, P = 1,50m and
length, L = 0.31m. Determine the depth of water in the channel. Use Francis formula
and neglect velocity of approach.
