In a flume 1.0−m wide water flows at a depth of 1.0−m with a velocity of 1 m/s. The flow is assumed to be free of losses. Find: (a) Discharge in m3/s (b) Froude number [2 marks] (c) Is the flow subcritical or super critical, why? (d) Reynolds's number (v=1.01×10−6 m2/s) (e) Velocity head in m [2 marks] [2 marks] [2 marks] (f) Energy head from the flume bottom [3 marks] (g) Critical depth [2 marks ] (h) By how much the bottom level has to be raised so that the flow becomes critical (sketch it) [4 marks (i) How far the width of the flume has to be reduced (symmetrically) so that the flow becomes critical [5 marks]
