Question
A rectangular concrete channel (n = 0.015) has a bottom width
of 10.0 m and a discharge rate of 43 m³/s. Plot the specific
energy diagram for depths ranging from 0.5 m to 3.1 m. From
the diagram, determine (a) critical depth, (b) minimum specific
energy, (c) specific energy for a water depth of 0.8 m, and (d)
water depths when the specific energy is 2.7 m. What channel
slope would result in critical flow?
