Question: Determine suitable dimensions of a rectangular, concrete - lined channel to convey a flow Q = 6 0 0 cubic feet per second ( cfs

Determine suitable dimensions of a rectangular, concrete-lined channel to convey a flow Q =600 cubic
feet per second (cfs). The slope of the channel is So =0.006 ft/ft.
a) Determine the normal depth of flow y o in feet.
b) Determine the critical depth yc in feet.
c) Determine the critical slope Sc.
d) Considering So and Sc as well as y o and y c, classify the bed slope of the channel.
e) Determine the width b of the channel in feet.
f) Determine the cross-sectional area A of the flow in ft 2.
g) Determine the velocity v in feet per second (fps).
h) Determine a suitable depth of freeboard and the height for the channel sidewalls in feet
