high and 2m in diameter is filled with
Situation 1: Given the section of
channel and floodway, it has a uniform
slope of 0.0004 and the Manning’s
coefficient n = 0.024 for both channel
and floodway. The side slope used is 1:1
1. Find the flow rate capacity of the
section in m3/s
2. Determine the specific energy in m
3. Determine the Froude Number and
evaluate the flow
Situation 2: Consider the flow in a wide
channel over a bump. The depth of flow yo
= 0.85m before the jump. If the flow
rate is 3.6 m3/s per meter of channel
width,
4. Compute the velocity of flow (m/s) at
the top of the bulge if it has a height
h = 0.1 m
5. Determine the distance y at the top
of the bulge
6. Determine the Froude Number and
evaluate the flow
Situation 3: Water flows at a rate of 20
m3/s through a rectangular section 4
meters wide from a steep slope to a mild
slope creating a hydraulic jump in the
manner shown. The upstream depth of flow
d1 = 1.20m
7. Determine the downstream depth
8. Find the energy (head) loss in the
jump
Situation 4: An open cylinder vessel 4m
oil
(SG = 0.8) to a depth of 2.7m. A 60mm
circular orifice with coefficient of
discharge equal to 0.6 is placed at
300mm above the bottom of the vessel.
The vessel is rotated about its own axis
at 60 rpm and the oil is allowed to
escape through the orifice for a period
of 4 minutes.
9. Calculate the volume of oil allowed
to escape through the orifice in m3.
10. Determine the average rate of
discharge in liters/sec
Situation 5: A horizontal jet having a
diameter of 50 mm and a velocity of 12
m/s is deflected through an angle of 60
degrees by the vane. Neglecting
friction, determine the force exerted by
the jet on the vane:
11. If the vane is fixed
12. If the vane is moving 0.5 m/s along
the horizontal jet
13. If the vane is moving 4.5 m/s
against the horizontal jet
Situation 6: A 600 mm diameter non-rigid
pipe of length 2.5 km with a thickness
of 10mm is to carry water flowing at 0.9
m3/s. Use Ew = 2.07x109 Pa for water and
Es = 200000 Mpa for steel.
14. Find the water hammer pressure
developed for a time of closure of 4
seconds.
15. Find the water hammer pressure
developed for a time of closure of 6
seconds.
