Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A rectangular channel has a water depth of 3 ft and a flow velocity of 4 ft/s. Calculate the specific energy and determine what happens if the depth increases to 4 ft.
💡 Hint: Use the depth values in the specific energy equation.
Given a channel that widens from 5 ft to 10 ft, and initial velocity is 6 ft/s, calculate the new velocity using continuity. Discuss the effect on specific energy.
💡 Hint: Recall that A1V1 = A2V2 applies directly here.
