Question: A rectangular channel ( b = 1 2 ft , n = 0 . 0 1 2 ) carries 1 , 0 0 0 ft

A rectangular channel (b =12 ft, n =0.012) carries 1,000 ft/sec on a slope of 5%.
a.) Determine flow type using both normal depth and Froude number.
b.) If channel transitions to a nearly horizontal section (S =0.05%) to cause a hydraulic jump, calculate downstream normal depth (Drw) after jump.
c.) Calculate energy loss through channel transition.
