A 900mm diameter conduit 3600m long is laid at a uniform slope of 1 in 1500 and connects two reservoirs. When the levels in the reservoirs are low the conduit runs partly full and it is found that a normal depth of 600mm gives a rate of flow of 0.322m^3/s.

The Chezy coefficient C is given by Km^n where K is constant,m is the hydraulic mean depth and n=1/6.Neglecting losses of head at entry and exit obtain

  1. the value of K,
  2. the discharge when the conduit is flowing full and the difference in level between the two reservoirs is 4.5m

answer: (a)67.6 (b)0.562m^3/s

Consider an electron beam of uniform circular cross-section with a diameter of 1 mm. The electrons are accelerated from the cathode to the anode, which are separated by 1 m. The electrons are generated at the cathode and therefore have negligible velocity at this position. The electrons accelerate at a rate of 108 ?/?2 between the cathode and anode. The current density at the anode is 104 ?/?2 . Find the current density as a function of position between the...
