Computation of :-

•Specific Energy ,
•Critical Depth
 Learning Objectives:-
•Specific energy and specific force

• Computation of critical depth and

hydraulic exponent

•Application of critical depth

INTRODUCTION
The concept of specific energy originally
proposed by Bakhmeteff [1] has lot of
advantages in the analysis of open channel
flow.
Specific energy , specific force and critical
depth are intimately connected specially in the
study of critical flow of an open channel.
Critical depth has a lot application in the flow
measuring device and to indicate the names
of gradually varied flow profiles and their
computation.

Case-II MAXIMUM DISCHARGE AT A GIVEN SPECIFIC ENERGY
Which is Eq (3.3) and this equation represents the critical flow condition, i.e, for
a given E and maximum Q, flow condition is critical
