Question: ( i ) Obtain the relationships between the Ch zy ' s coeflicient C , Manning's roughness coefticient n and the Darcy - Weisbach friction

(i) Obtain the relationships between the Chzy's coeflicient C, Manning's roughness coefticient n and the Darcy-Weisbach friction factor f for uniform flow conditions taking place in an open channel in terms of the hydraulic geometry of the channel section.

(ii) Determine the diameter of a semi-circular open channel section which will carry the same discharge as that taking place in a rectangular section open channel of 7.38' width with a normal depth of flow of 4.10. The bed slope and Manning's roughness coefticient have the same values in both the channels.

2a. Water flows in a shaped channel shown in the figure. Critical depth occurs at a section in this canal reach at 1.40m. Estimate the normal depth and determine whether the flow is hydraulically smooth or rough (Take roughness height as 0.025m).
(or)
2b. For a non uniform flow taking place in a river (which may be approximated to a trapezoidal section channel) of bottom width 10.0m with side slopes of 1.5H:1.0V, the depth and velocity of flow observed at a section are 3.0m and 2.36ms respectively. If the longitudinal bed slope observed in a 500m reach of the river is 310-4, find (i) the velocity of flow taking place in upstream section of the river where the depth of flow is observed to be 3.42m, and (ii) the discharge taking place in the downstream section. The equivalent Manning's roughness coefficient n=0.026 for the river channel bed and the river banks.

3a.(i) Derive the governing equation for Gradually varied flow (GVF) conditions taking place in a prismatic channel of constant bed slope.
(ii) The normal depth of flow in a prismatic channel having the cross-section as shown in the figure below with bottom width of 15m is 1.5m. The longitudinal slope of the channel is 110-4. A weir/hump at the downstream portion of the channel reach raises the flow depth to 3.0m just upstream of the weir/hump. Determine the stale of flow, and type of slope just U/S of the weirhump.
