Question 1
What characterizes hydraulic gradient lines in open channel flow?
- They are always below the free surface.
- They coincide with the free surface.
- They are independent of pressure.
💡 Hint: Recall the definition of hydraulic gradient line!
Question 2
True or False: Mechanical energy losses in fluid systems cause the energy gradient line to slope upwards.
- True
- False
💡 Hint: Think about where energy goes in a system.

Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
A water pipe sudden enlarges from 4 cm to 8 cm in diameter, experiencing a pressure change of 1 atm. How would you calculate the flow rate at each section? Consider applying the Bernoulli equation.
💡 Hint: Remember that when the diameter increases, the velocity must decrease under conservation laws!
Question 2
Calculate the kinetic energy correction factor for a channel flow that has a parabolic velocity profile. Assume the velocity at the center is twice that of the average velocity.
💡 Hint: Visualize the flow profile and how average velocity differs from local velocities.
