Tutorial # 5# 3

1. An irrigation channel of trapezoidal section, having side slopes 3 horizontal to 2 vertical,


is to carry a flow of 10 cumec on a longitudinal slope of 1 in 5000. The channel is to be
lined for which the value of friction coefficient in Manning’s formula is n = 0.012. Find
the dimensions of the most economic section of the channel.
2. A most efficient trapezoidal section is required to give a maximum discharge of 21.5 m3/s
of water. The slope of the channel bottom is 1 in 2500. Taking C = 70 m1/2/s in Chezy’s
equation, determine the dimensions of the channel. Also determine the value of
Manning’s n, taking the value of velocity of flow as obtained for the channel by Chezy’s
equation.
3. An irrigation channel is to carry a discharge of 14 cumec with a velocity of 0.9 m/s and
bed slope of 1 in 2500. The side slopes are 1 to 1. Find the depth and bottom width. The
values of Chezy’s C for this channel for different values of hydraulic radius ‘R’ are as
tabulated below.

4. A channel is 2m wide at bottom; the length of each sloping side is 1.95 m; the width at
water surface is 5.5 m the flow depth 1.2 m; and bed slope 1 in 5280. What is the
discharge per minute? The values of Chezy’s C for this channel for different values of
hydraulic radius R are as tabulated below.

5. Water flows at a uniform depth of 2 m in a trapezoidal channel having a bottom width 6


m, side slopes 2 horizontal to 1 vertical. If it has to carry a discharge of 65 m3/s, compute
the bottom slope required to be provided. Take Manning’s n = 0.025.
6. A flow of 100 litres per second flows down in rectangular laboratory flume of width 0.6
m and having adjustable bottom slope. If Chezy’s C is 56 determine the bottom slope
necessary for uniform flow with a depth of flow 0.3 m. Also find the state of flow.
