A lined canal (n = 0.016) is designed to carry a flow rate of 33 m3/s. The canal is laid at a slope of 14 cm/km with a side slope of 2:1. Design the canal cross section (the water depth and bed width) according to each of the following scenario:

If Velocity is 1.0 m/s
If the Most efficient hydraulic section (i.e., when Rh=y/2)
If Width/depth =5

Comment on the practicality of the designs (Height of side slope, flow

velocity, variability of depth under reduced flows, land area for the canal).

Water flows in a horizontal pipeline at a steady flow rate of 0.03 m3 s-1. The pipeline terminates with a reducing bend that deflects the water upwards at an angle of 45 degrees, as shown in Figure QB2. The water issues into the atmosphere. The area of the pipe is 150 x 10-4 m2 and the area at the exit to the bend is 25 x 10-4 m2. The gauge pressure at the inlet to the bend is 73.9 kN...

In a delivery line for carbontetrachloride at the constant flow rate of 4 X 10^(-5) m3/s, the first 1000 mm long section is of 20 mm inside diameter smooth pipe followed by another 1000 mm long section of 50 mm inside diameter smooth pipe as shown in the following figure. Estimate the pressure drop over the entire length of delivery line. Neglect the minor losses due to sudden enlargement of pipe diameter. Data: For carbon tetrachloride, Viscosity = 10^(-3) Pa.sec...

A 5 m wide rectangular channel carries a flow of 20 m3/s. The slope of the channel is 0.005 and the Manning’s n is 0.03. The flow encounters a 0.5 m step up that is 0.1 m long. The depths far upstream and downstream are normal. Classify this channel Qualitatively sketch this scenario, label gradually varied flow curves and provide appropriate depths. Draw this scenario on an E-Y cycle graph, and label all depth changes.

Consider a 10x108 m3 lake fed by a polluted stream having a flow rate of 2.0 m3 /s and pollutant concentration equal to 10.0 mg/L. There is also a sewage outfall that discharges 0.5 m3 /s of wastewater that has a pollutant concentration of 100 mg/L into the lake. The stream and sewage pollutants have a decay rate coefficient of 0.20 day-1 (first order). Under these flow conditions the lake remains the same volume (e.g. a stream enters and exits...
