Hydraulics Quiz: Open Channel Flow Problems

This document contains a 10 question quiz on open channel flow and hydraulics. The questions cover topics such as: [1] calculating average shear stress in an open channel given flow parameters; [2] determining uniform flow using Manning's and Kutter's formula given channel parameters; [3] sizing channels to carry given discharges with specific velocities; and [4] calculating critical flow parameters and apron lengths for spillways. The quiz was prepared by Engineering Instructor Antonio Curva for a Hydraulics 2 class at Polytechnic University of the Philippines Lopez, Quezon Branch College of Engineering Department of Civil Engineering.

Quiz 3

Name: _______________________

I. Problem Solving – Flow in Open Channels

1. Water flows uniformly at a depth of 1.5m in a rectangular canal 4m wide, laid on a slope
of 1 m per kilometer. What is the average shear stress at the sides and bottom of the
canal?
2. What uniform flow will occur in a rectangular planed-timber flume (n = 0.010) 1.75 m
wide and having a slope of 0.0010 when the depth therein is 1 m, using;
a.Manning’s C
b.Kutter’s C
3. Calculate the flow in an earth-lined canal (n = 0.020) trapezoidal canal having bottom
width of 4 m, SS 1:2, laid on a slope of 0.0001 having a depth of 2m, using
a.Manning’s C
b.Kutter’s C
4. At what depth will 4.25 m^3 / s flow uniformly in a rectangular channel 4 m wide with
rubble-lined masonry and laid on a slope of 1 to 7000? Use n = 0.017
5. What slope is necessary to carry 11.5 m^3 / s at a depth 1.5 m in a rectangular channel 4
m wide, having n = 0.017?
6. A circular vitrified sewer pipe is laid on slope of 0.0002 and its carry 2.4 m^3 / s. When
the pipe flows at 90 % of its diameter, what size of pipe should be used if n = 0.015?
7. A rectangular section 2.5 m wide carries a flow of 5 m^3 / s. Find the critical depth,
critical velocity and the critical slope if n = 0.013.
8. A river carries a capacity of 10.5 m^3 / s at an average velocity of 1.2 m/s. What smust
be the dimension of a brick-lined trapezoidal canal to carry the same capacity and
velocity as the river with SS 2:1 in order to have the most economical section?
9. Determine the slope that a concrete circular sewer, 2 m in diameter, must have when
flowing at its maximum capacity if the mean velocity is 3 m/s. Use n = 0.013.
10. After flowing over the spillway of a dam, 250 m^3 / s of water passes over a level apron
(So = 0, n = 0.013). The velocity of water at the bottom of the spillway was measured to
be 12.8 m/s. The width of the apron is 50 m and the depth of flow below the apron is to
be 3 m. Conditions are such that a jump would occur. Find the length of the apron if the
jump is to be contained within it. Determine the energy lost in the jump.
