DATA:

For uniform flow in an open channel, the Manning formula states that:

S= Slope of Energy

The actual fluid of velocity can be calculated as:
V= Q/A

No. V (m/s) A (m2) P (m) V actual (m/s)

DISCUSSION
From this experiment,the hydraulic parameters is define as a how fluid can be used in
engineering and technology. We also have to determine the behavior of fluid in fluid
mechanic. The basic of properties of the fluid is density, viscosity, temperature, pressure,
specific volume, specific weight, and specific gravity.
Viscosity is the unit Flow per perimeter. Viscosity of fluid increase when the total of
flow rate also increase.
V=Q/A

Viscosity is the fluid properties that determine the amount of resistance of the fluid to
shear stress. It Is the properties of the fluid to which the fluid offers resistance to flow of one
layer of the fluid over another adjacent layer.

Based on the result that we get of the experiment is for the average of actual velocity
is 0.000243 m/s and the density of the oil is Velocity is 64.106 m/s. So we can conclude that
Velocity from open channel is higher than Velocity actual.We also calculate area of the fluid
is different from each other this is because it have different upstream and downstream depth
of flow.

CONCLUSION
 In the end of the experiment the objectives of this experiment is achieved which is to
obtain appropriate coefficients to satisfy the Manning formula of a corrugated and roughened
bed on the depth of water at different flow rates. We also know how to fine the velocity using
self-contained glass tilting flume. After that we also need to find the actual velocity for water
by using self-contained glass.
After we get the data from the experiment, we calculate by using the formula that given
in lab manual. We also can manage the experiment successfully. When we do an experiment
we need to do carefully to avoid an error. When we use self-contained glass, we need to make
sure the apparatus is dry to get an accurate answer. After that, when we take the time for
viscosity apparatus, make sure to take the time accurate to get the right answer. Lastly, when
we take a reading for hydrometer make sure eye and the water level are same level with our
eye.
