Question

A rectangular channel is 6.3 m wide and has a depth of flow of 1.7 m. The slope of the channel bed is 1/1000. using the Chezy equation with C 49 m1/2/s, calculate the mean velocity and discharge in the channel.

b) Find the rate of flow for a rectangular channel 7.5 m wide for uniform flow at a depth of 2.25 m. The channel is having a bed slope of 1 in 1000. The Chezy constant, C 55 m1/?/s. Also find out whether the flow is relatively deep, slow flow or relatively shallow, fast flow
