PROJECT:
Q(DISCHARGE)= 1.74 m 3/sec
USING MANNING'S FORMULA TO COMPUTE FOR THE VELOCITY
A(AREA)= 0.478 m2
P(PERIMETER)= 2.450 m
R(HYDRAULIC RADIUS)= 0.195 m
V(VELOCITY)= 3.644 m/sec
D (DIAMETER OF PIPE)= 0.780 m INITIAL DIAMETER
VELOCITY 3.644 m/sec
PIPE DIAMETER
EFFECTIVE LENGTH= 46 meters0.780 m
OPTION 1-USING THE FORMULA FOR OPTIMUM DIAMETER (HYDRAULIC BOOK)
FORMULA 1 DIAMETER = 0.71P^0.43/H n^0.65

DISCHARGE 1.74 m3/sec
PIPE DIAMETER (OPTIMUM) 0.76 m
OPTION 2-USING THE FORMULA FOR OPTIMUM DIAMETER (HYDRAULIC BOOK)
FORMULA 2 DIAMETER = 0.49P^0.43/H n^0.57
D= 0.78 m
