$(15$ points$)$ Circle True or False for each of the following questions. Provide an explanation

for your answer.

a$.$ If it is possible to prevent a flow becoming turbulent, i$.$e$.,$ remaining laminar, one

can obtain a larger discharge $Q$ for the same total energy head. True or False

b$.$ Regardless of the approaching flow's Froude number, if the flow becomes critical

at a transition, the flow downstream of the transition must have a Froude number

greater than one. True or False

c$.$ Suppose a classic hydraulic jump occurs across a segment of an open channel

where the upstream cross$-$section is rectangular, and the downstream cross$-$

section is circular. The value of momentum function must increase downstream.

True or False.
