Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Calculate the flow rate in a rectangular channel, 5 m wide and 1.5 m deep, moving at 2 m/s. Use the formula Q = A * v, where A is the area.

💡 Hint: Don’t forget to calculate the area first before finding the flow rate.

Question 2

A channel has a hydraulic radius of 0.75m. It is found to be flowing supercritically. Determine the flow characteristics and implications this has in engineering design.

💡 Hint: Think about why engineers need to manage flow rates in channels.
