Question: A sediment sample is collected from a river flow and the sieve analysis results for the sediment sample is given as below. Flowrate of this

A sediment sample is collected from a river flow and the sieve analysis results for the sediment sample is given as below. Flowrate of this channel is 30m3s, and the channel has rectangular cross-section with 2m width, and 0.0002 bottom slope. Answer the following questions. (s.g. of sediments =2.65, density of water =1000kgm3, kinematic viscosity of water (:=10-6m2s}
(a) Determine the particle Reynolds number (Rep) and calculate fall velocity assuming spherical shape of sediment and uniform flow. (15 pt)
(b) Determine whether the bed loads start to transport referring to the Shields diagram (15pt)
(c) Determine the suspended solid concentration at zh=0.25 using the Rouse model and the following information. (10pt)
Suspended solid concentration at zh=0.2:1000ppm
von Karman constant: 0.41
Fall velocity: use the answer from Prob. (a)
