Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Calculate the downstream elevation if water's upstream depth is 2.3 ft and the calculated velocity v1 is 2.5 ft/s, assuming energy loss from ramp is negligible.
💡 Hint: Use the specific energy relationships to establish your equations.
Consider a ramp with specific energy values derived. If y1 = 2.3 ft yields E = 3.03 ft at the beginning, calculate the new specific energy if the downstream flow depth fluctuates.
💡 Hint: Connect flow conditions to these energy variations.
