Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Given an upstream depth of 1.5m and flow rate of 3.0 m^3/s in a rectangular channel, find the downstream depth when the channel rises by 0.5m.
💡 Hint: Consider how the channel slope impacts energy loss while applying the equations.
Design a small channel that minimizes energy loss while maintaining a uniform flow rate of 5 m^3/s. Discuss the parameters you would consider in your design.
💡 Hint: Focus on striving for balance in energy efficiency while considering the flow characteristics.
