Open Channel Flow Questions

1. A rectangular open channel is to be constructed with smooth concrete on a slope of 0.075. The design flow rate is 18m^3/s. The channel design is optimum. What are the channel dimensions?

2. A circular sewer pipe (n=0.012) is installed on a 1.5% grade. Manning coefficient (n=0.013). Maximum full flow capacity = 4 ft^3/sec. Use a 12 in pipe.
a) What is the full flow capacity
b) What is the full flow velocity

3. A trapezoidal open channel with smooth concrete on a slope of 0.075, design flow rate = 18 m^3/s. Assume optimum design. What are the dimensions?

4. A Hydraulic jump forms at the toe of a spillway. Water surface levels are 0.3 ft and 7 ft above the apron before and after the jump, respectively. The velocity before the jump is 55 ft/sec. Find the energy loss.

gas turbine parts:Gas turbines are made out of three primary parts: blower, combustor and power turbine. In the blower area, air is attracted and compacted up to multiple times encompassing tension and coordinated to the combustor segment where fuel is presented, lighted and consumed.
