    1) The maximum velocity in a circular channel occurs when θ satisfies the equation sin(θ) - θcos(θ) = 0. By solving this equation graphically, it is proven that the maximum occurs when the hydraulic radius R is 0.3 times the diameter D of the circular channel. 2) Expressions are obtained for the critical depth of different channel geometries. 3) Using the concept of specific energy, it is proven that the expression for flow at constant specific energy in a rectangular channel is y2/(2g) + z = yC2/(2g), where yC is the critical depth and qC is the critical discharge. A dimensionless diagram is plotted with y/

    1) Maximum velocity in a circular channel is said to occur when theta satisfies following

    equation: [3 Marks]

    sin (θ)−θ cos (θ) = 0

    solve the above equation for theta using Graphical approach; and prove that maximum
    velocity in a circular channel occurs when R = 0.3 D, where R is the hydraulic radius and
    D is the Diameter of the circular channel.
    [Page 154 ]

    2) Obtain an expression of critical depth of following channel geometries. [Page 155]


    3) Using the concept of specific energy prove the following expression for a flow at a
    constant specific energy in a rectangular channel. [3 Marks]

    where q Cis the critical discharge. Plot a dimension less diagram with (y/yC) as ordinate
    and (q/qC)as abscissa.
