Question: Problem 1 - Open Channel Flow ( 2 5 Points ) A rectangular channel ) = ( 0 . 0 1 2 with bottom width

Problem 1- Open Channel Flow (25 Points)
A rectangular channel )=(0.012 with bottom width of 10.0ft is to carry water at a flow rate of 390ft3s on a slope of 0.5%.
Q=390fs,n=0.012,S3=0.005, find yn
(a) Calculate the normal depth for this channel [5 Points].
(b) Calculate the Froude number under uniform flow conditions [5 Points].
(c) Calculate the critical depth? [5 Points].
(d) Is a hydraulic jump possible downstream of a location where the depth was measured to be approximately equal to the normal depth (i.e.y=yn)? If so, what is the depth after the jump and the energy lost in the jump? [5 Points].
(e) Using your calculated values for normal depth and critical depth, classify the water surface profile (e.g. M2) if y=3.2ft. Be sure to show your work to justify your classification [5 Points].
