Answer all FOUR questions. NOTE: If you cannot solve an equation, assume a reasonable value and continue!!! 1. Find the depth ya if Yo = 30 m/s, g = Q/5 = 10 mis and ¥; = 30 mis. Note the jet and the channel are very wide and the flow is steady state. (15 marks) 2. Find the flow rate for each pipe in the following spray system and the power required by the pump ifthe pump efficieney ty is 90 %. The flow rate from the spay is 0.5 m/s (25 marks) 11 = 500m, Di = 0.5 m,f,= 0.010 £2= 1500 m, D, = 0.5 m, f= 0.010 15 = 1000 m, Ds=0.4m,f; Ls = 200 m, Ds= 0.4m, fa Sm 1of23. The cross-section of a horizontal channel changes from trapezoidal to rectangular. The transition is short and smooth thus the energy loss is small. The bottom width of the trapezoidal section is 5 m, and side slopes are 2H:1V. If the depth in the trapezoidal section is 2 m, find the depth in the rectangular section with a width of 8 m. Decide whether the flow is subcritical or supercritical there. Find the minimum width of the rectangular channel without choking, If the bed level in the rectangular channel is lowered smoothly by 2 m, what will that minimum width be? Note the flow rate Q= 20 m/s. (25 marks) 4, Water flows at the uniform depth in a river of rectangular cross-section far away from a small dam. The channel has a slope of 0.001 and a Manning n of 0.020. The depth of water just upstream of the dam is 5 m and the unit discharge q = Q/ = 10 m’/s/m. Identify the type of water surface profiles and draw the Energy Grade Line. Find the upstream distance to the point where the flow depth is 1.05y». Also write necessary equations to find the downstream distance before the flow retums to its uniform depth. Note: treat each reach as one step and assume Ry ~ y. (35 marks) End of Exam. 2of2
