Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
A rectangular channel has a width of 4 m and a flow depth of 3 m with a velocity of 5 m/s. Calculate the specific energy and identify the flow regime.
💡 Hint: Apply E = y + (v²/2g) for specific energy; use the Froude number formula for flow regime.
Question 2
Design a trapezoidal channel with a flow rate of 100 m³/s. What dimensions minimize energy loss while maintaining efficient flow?
💡 Hint: Balance between flow area and perimeter; consider the optimal shapes discussed in class.
