(1.) Condition For Maximum Discharge:-: EXAMPLES-2.5

This document discusses conditions for maximum discharge and maximum velocity in circular channels. For maximum discharge, the depth must be 0.95 times the diameter or the hydraulic radius must be 0.286 times the diameter. For maximum velocity, the depth must be 0.813 times the diameter or the hydraulic radius must be 0.304 times the diameter. It then provides an example problem involving calculating the depth of flow in a circular sewer pipe with given dimensions, slope, and discharge using Chezy's formula.

EXAMPLES-2.

(1.) Condition for Maximum Discharge:-


Summary: -
For the most efficient section of a circular channel to give maximum discharge one of the
following conditions must be satisfied:-
(i) Depth of water = 0.95 diameter of circular section (i.e. y=0.95 D).
(ii) Hydraulic radius = 0.286 diameter of circular section (i.e. R=0.286 D).
(iii) Wetted perimeter = 2.60 diameter of circular section (i.e. y=2.60 D); and
= 2.83 depth of water (i.e. P=2.83 y)

(1.) Condition for Maximum Velocity Of Flow:-


Summary: -
For the most efficient section of a circular channel to give maximum velocity one of the following
conditions must be satisfied:-
(iv) Depth of water = 0.813 diameter of circular section (i.e. y=0.813 D).
(v) Hydraulic radius = 0.304 diameter of circular section (i.e. R=0.304 D).
(vi) Wetted perimeter = 2.245 diameter of circular section (i.e. P=2.245 D); and
= 2.367 depth of water (i.e. P=2.367 yy)

Q1. A circular sewer of 60 cm inside diameter has a slope of 1 in 400. Using chezy’s formula with C =
50.
(a) Find the depth when the discharge is 0.28 m3/s.
(b) Determine depth of flow in the sewer for the most efficient/ economical section:
(i) Under condition for maximum discharge; and
(ii) Under condition for maximum velocity.

Solution:-
r2 ( 0.09 (
Radius of circular sewer, r =¿ 0.3 cm; flow c/s Area, A= θ−sin θ ) = θ−sin θ ); and
2 2
wetted perimeter, P=rθ=¿ 0.3θ.

Hydraulic radius, A 2 0.3 ( θ−sin θ )
R= = =

Using Chezy’s formula, Q= A . C √ RS where, Q=¿ 0.283 m3/s, C = 50 and S = 1/400 = 0.0025.
Thus, by substitution, we get:
0.09 0.3 ( θ−sinθ )
0.283=

(b) (As H/W) Solve:
(i) Under condition for maximum discharge; and
(ii) Under condition for maximum velocity.
