Fluid Mechanics and Hydraulics

  1. A trapezoidal channel is 10.0 m wide at the base and has a side slope of 4 horizontal to 3 vertical. The bed slope is 0.002. The channel is lined with smooth concrete (Manning’s n = 0.012). The hydraulic radius (in m) for a depth of flow of 3.0 m is
    1. 20.0
    2. 3.5
    3. 3.0
    4. 2.1
Correct Option: D


T = 10 + 2 ×
4
× 3 = 18 m
3

A =
1
× (10 + 18) × 3 = 42 m²
2

P = 10 + 2 × 5 = 20 m
R =
A
=
42
= 2.1 m
