Determine the minimum diameter (in) for the culvert above.
You will first determine the minimum diameter for inlet control.
You will then use that diameter as the starting (minimum) diameter for outlet control and determine if it will pass the flow or if you need to increase the diameter.
Minimum diameter is 18 inches increasing by 6 inches (i.e.,24 inch, 30 inch, 36 inch, etc.).
Inlet Control: Orifice -Q=C**A**(2gH)0.5(C=0.6;A=3.14**D24;g=32.2fts2;H is water surface to centerline)
butlet Control: HW+SOL=H+TW
