Question

Water discharging into a 10-m-wide rectangular horizontal channel from a sluice gate is observed to have undergone a hydraulic jump. The flow depth and velocity before the jump are 0.8m and 7m/s, respectively. Determine (a) the flow depth and the Froude number after the jump (b) the head loss (c) the dissipation ratio.

Answer 1

A) Flow depth = 2.46 m, Froude number after jump = 0.464

B) head loss = 0.572 m

C) dissipation ratio = 0.173

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data :

Velocity before jump ( v1 ) = 7 m/s

flow depth before jump ( y1 ) = 0.8 m

g = 9.81 m/s

Esi = 3.3 m ( calculated )
