APPLIED HYDRAULICS ENGINEERING

2 MARKS
1. Define open-channel flow.
2. Compute the hydraulic mean depth of a small channel 1 m wide, 0.5 m deep with water flowing at 2 m/s.
3. Distinguish between open channel flow and conduit flow.
4. What are wide channels?
5. What are the different types of flow in open channel?
6. Define specific energy.
7. What do you know about uniform and non uniform flow?
16 MARKS
1. Define specific energy. How would you express the specific energy for a wide rectangular channel with depth of
flowd and velocity of flow V ? Draw the typical specific energy diagram and explain its features.
2. Calculate the specific energy, critical depth and velocity for the flow of 10 m3/s in a cement lined rectangular
channel 2.5 m wide with 2 m depth of water. Is the given flow subcritical or supercritical?
3. A trapezoidal channel has a bottom width of 6.1 m and side slopes of 2 H : 1 V. When the depth of flow is 1.07
m, the flow is 10.47 m3/s? What is the specific energy of flow? Is the flow tranquil or rapid?
4. How do you classify open channels? Explain in detail. Also explain the Velocity distribution in open channel.
