Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Given a rectangular channel with a width of 4 feet, a height of 2 feet, and a flow rate of 8 cubic feet per second, calculate the velocity and discuss if it experiences subcritical or supercritical flow.
💡 Hint: Evaluate depth with respect to flow profile to assess conditions.
A ramp in a channel accelerates flow from 1 ft/s to 3 ft/s across a height of 0.5 feet. Calculate the energy loss and the significance of such a design.
💡 Hint: Consider both potential energy loss due to elevation and kinetic energy gain.
