Question: Water, assumed incompressible, flows steadily through a very wide rectangular duct of depth w . The entrance velocity is constant, u = U 0 ,

Water, assumed incompressible, flows steadily through a very wide rectangular duct of depth w. The entrance velocity is constant, u= U 0, and the exit velocity approximates turbulent flow, u = u max (1- y / h)^1/7. h = half height of duct, y = distance up from the centerline. This expression is only good for the top half of the duct, so the total flow is 2 X the integral of u dA. Integrate from 0 to h
Determine the ratio U 0/ u max for this flow.
