Question: QUESTION 5 [ 1 8 Marks ] Water flows at a rate of 4 0 m 3 s in a trapezoidal channel ( Fig .

QUESTION 5[18 Marks]
Water flows at a rate of 40m3s in a trapezoidal channel (Fig. Q5) with bottom width of 5 m and side slope of 1:2(V:H). The initial flow depth is 0.6 m . Both channels are infinitely long and has similar properties with the conveyance factor 600 and median particle size of 2.5 mm . Assume no head loss due to friction.
Calcurate:
a) Normal depth and velocity
b) Critical flow: depth and velocity
c) Normal and critical bed slopes
d) Specific energy and sequent depth
e) Reynold and Froude numbers and state their status
f) Calculate the following if hydraulic jump will occur.
i. Downstream flow depth
ii. Energy loss in the channel
iii. Velocity downstream of the hydraulic jump
iv. Location, the height and the length of jump
g) Determine and sketch the type of the water surface profile in these channels for a flow depth of 0.3 m . Indicate the position of control points and hydraulic jump.
