    A rectangular duct carries liquid at a depth of 2 feet. The duct is 6 feet wide and 3 feet deep. To determine the hydraulic radius and equivalent diameter for this rectangular duct: The hydraulic radius is the ratio of the cross-sectional area to the wetted perimeter. For the given duct, the hydraulic radius can be calculated using the area of 2 feet x 6 feet and perimeter of 2 feet + 6 feet + 2 feet + 3 feet. The equivalent diameter allows comparison of non-circular shapes to a circular pipe, and can be calculated from the hydraulic radius.

    A liquid flows in the rectangular duct shown in the figure below do a depth of 2 feet. If the duct is
    6 feet wide and three feet deep, determine the hydraulic radius and the equivalent diameter
    ?

    Solution:

    The ratio of the fluid flow area (dA) to shear Maria Dp DL is a function of stream tube flow shape and
    is a constant for a given geometry.

    The hydraulic radius RH may be used to define this ratio per unit of length as follows:

    The hydraulic radius is used to compute flow losses in non-circular flow passages and circular
    conduits flowing partly full of liquids. For this reason it is important to relate the hydraulic radius to
    the diameter D off a circular pipe:
