Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A rectangular channel with a width of 2 meters and a flow rate of 3 m³/s has a depth of 0.5 m. Find the Froude number at this depth and determine if a hydraulic jump is likely.
💡 Hint: Use the Q and A to find velocity first!
Consider a scenario with two depths before and after a hydraulic jump of 0.4 m and 1.2 m. Determine the head loss using the related equations discussed.
💡 Hint: Recall the specific formulas we've covered relating to energy conservation!
