Question: QUESTION ( 4 [ 3 0 ] ) 4 . 1 The normal depth of flow in trapezoidal concrete lined channel is 2

QUESTION \(4[30]\)
4.1 The normal depth of flow in trapezoidal concrete lined channel is 2 m . The channel base width is 5 m and it has side slopes of 1:2. Manning's n is 0.015 and the bed slope is 0.001. Determine:
i. Discharge
ii. Mean velocity
iii. Reynolds number
4.2 A long rectangular channel of width 5 m has a slope of 1:5000 and a Manning's roughness coefficient \( n \) of 0.02. The total discharge is \(10\mathrm{~m}^{3}\mathrm{~s}^{-1}\). The channel narrows to a width of 1.2 m over a short length.
(i) Determine the normal depth at this flow rate in the 5 m -wide channels.
(ii) Show that critical conditions occur at the narrow section.
(iii) Determine the depth just upstream of the narrowed section, where the width is 5 m
4.3 A long channel 1.5 m wide terminates in a full-width rectangular weir whose crest height is 300 mm above the stream bed. If the measuring station is recording a depth of 400 mm above the weir crest, estimate the discharge.
(i) Assuming a flow with a negligible velocity of approach (take \( C_{d}\) as 0.7)
(ii) Including velocity of approach (taking the Coriolis coefficient, \(\alpha \), as 1.1 and \( C_{d}\) as 0.7)
