Question: A horizontal open channel of constant rectangular cross section conveys ( 2 0 mathrm { ~m } ^ { 3 } /

A horizontal open channel of constant rectangular cross section conveys \(20\mathrm{~m}^{3}/\mathrm{s}\) of fluid. At one point in the channel there is a right angled bend formed by circular arcs, the inner radius being 5 m and the other 8 m . In the straight portion of the channel the uniform depth of fluid is 2 m . Assuming a perfect fluid with constant specific energy of flow and a free vortex flow around the bend, estimate the depth of flow at the inner and outer radii of the bend.
\[
(1.552\mathrm{~m},2.17\mathrm{~m})
