Hydraulics Midterm Solutions (With Proper Math

Formatting)
Q1. Best Hydraulic Rectangular Section
Given:
Q = 10 m3/s, n = 0.02, S = 0.009
For best section: b = 2y
Area: A = b·y = 2y2
Perimeter: P = 4y
Hydraulic Radius: R = A / P = 0.5y
Manning Formula:
Q = (1/n) · A · R2/3 · S1/2
10 = (1 / 0.02) · (2y2) (0.5y)2/3 (0.009)1/2
y = 1.2139 m
b = 2y = 2.43 m
Final: y = 1.21 m, b = 2.43 m

Q2. Alternate & Critical Depth for Rectangular Channel


Given: b = 6 m, y = 3 m, Q = 22.5 m3/s
Velocity: V = Q / (b·y) = 22.5 / (6×3) = 1.25 m/s
Specific Energy: E = y + V2 / 2g
E = 3 + 1.252 / (2 × 9.81) = 3.0797 m
Critical Depth Formula:
yc = (Q2 / (g·b2))1/3
yc = 1.13 m
Alternate depth = 0.53 m

Q3. Sluice Gate Flow (Method)


Critical Energy: E = y + V2 / 2g
Critical Depth: yc = (Q2 / (g·b2))1/3
Flow Type: y > yc → Subcritical, y < yc → Supercritical

Q4. Composite Channel Flow (Method)


Conveyance: K = (1/n) A R2/3
Total K = K1 + K2
Discharge: Q = K √S
