Assignment -Unit 1.

Question 1. The width of a horizontal rectangular channel is reduced from 3.5 m to 2.5 m and the
floor is raised by 0.25 m in elevation at a given section. At the upstream section, the depth of fl
ow is 2.0 m and the kinetic energy correction factor α is 1.15. If the drop in the water surface
elevation at the contraction is 0.20 m, calculate the discharge
if (a) the energy loss is neglected,
and (b) the energy loss is one-tenth of the upstream velocity head. [The kinetic energy correction
factor at the contracted section may be assumed to be unity].
Question 2. A sluice gate in a 2.0-m wide horizontal rectangular channel is discharging freely as
shown in Fig. 1.16. If the depths a small distance upstream ( y1 ) and downstream ( y2 ) are 2.5
m and 0.20 m respectively, estimate the discharge in the channel
(i) by neglecting energy losses at the gate, and
(ii) (ii) by assuming the energy loss at the gate to be 10% of the upstream depth y1.

Question 3. Figure 1.19 shows a hydraulic jump in a horizontal apron aided by a two dimensional block
on the apron. Obtain an expression for the drag force per unit length of the block.
Question 4. A 2.5-m wide rectangular channel has a specific energy of 1.50 m when carrying a discharge
of 6.48 m3/s. Calculate the alternate depths and corresponding Froude numbers.

Question 5. A flow of 5.0 m3/s is passing at a depth of 1.5 m through a rectangular channel of 2.5 m
width. The kinetic energy correction factor α is found to be 1.20. What is the specific energy of the fl
ow? What is the value of the depth alternate to the existing depth if α = 1.0 is assumed for the alternate
fl ow?

Question 6. Calculate the critical depth and the corresponding specific energy for a discharge of 5.0
m3/s in the following channels:

(a) Rectangular channel, B = 2.0 m

(b) Triangular channel, m = 0.5

(c ) Trapezoidal channel, B = 2.0 m, m = 1.5

Question 7. A trapezoidal channel with a bed width of 4.0 m and side slopes of 1.5 H: I V carries a certain
discharge. (a) Based on observations, if the critical depth of the fl ow is estimated as 1.70 m, calculate
the discharge in the channel.

(b) If this discharge is observed to be flowing at a depth of 2.50 m in a reach, estimate the Froude
number of the fl ow in that reach.

Question 8. Calculate the bottom width of a channel required to carry a discharge of 15.0 m3/s as a
critical fl ow at a depth of 1.2 m, if the channel section is (a) rectangular, and (b) trapezoidal with side
slope 1.5 horizontal: 1 vertical.
Question 9. Find the critical depth for a specific energy head of 1.5 m in the following channels:

(a) Rectangular channel, B = 2.0 m

(b) Triangular channel, m = 1.5

(c) Trapezoidal channel, B = 2.0 m and m = 1.0

Question 10. A trapezoidal channel is 10.0 m wide and has a side slope of 1.5 horizontal: 1 vertical. The
bed slope is 0.0003. The channel is lined with smooth concrete of n = 0.012. Compute the mean velocity
and discharge for a depth of fl ow of 3.0 m.

Question 11. A triangular channel with an apex angle of 750 carries a flow of 1.2 m3/s at a depth of 0.80
m. If the bed slope is 0.009, find the roughness coefficient of the channel.

Question 12. A 5.0-m wide trapezoidal channel having a side slope of 1.5 horizontal: 1 vertical is laid on a
slope of 0.00035. The roughness coefficient n = 0.015. Find the normal depth for a discharge of 20 m3/s
through this channel.

Question 13. A slightly rough brick-lined (n = 0.017) trapezoidal channel carrying a discharge of 25.0
m3/s is to have a longitudinal slope of 0.0004. Analyze the proportions of an efficient trapezoidal
channel section having a side slope of 1.5 horizontal: 1 vertical.

Question 14. Determine the normal depth, bed width and sides slopes of a most efficient trapezoidal
channel section to carry a discharge of 25 m3/s. The longitudinal slope of the channel is to be 0.0009
and Manning’s n can be taken as 0.015.
