A. Starting from the specific energy equation [E = y + v2 /(2g)], drive an expression for the critical flow depth (yc) in a rectangular channel as a function of the flow rate /unit width (q). Proof also that Froude number in that case =1.0
B. A trapezoidal channel with a bottom width of 4 m and side slopes 4H: 1V carries a discharge of 30 m3 /s. The channel has bed slope= 0.1 % and manning roughness coefficient = 0.015. Determine the following: i. the minimum specific energy ii. the normal depth iii. the critical slope iv. state of the flow in the channel
