Question 1.
What is specific energy in open channel flow?
Show hintHide hint
Think about the components of energy in fluid flow.
Question 2.
Define Froude number.
Show hintHide hint
It involves velocity and flow depth.
3Question 3.
What is the definition of specific energy?
Show hintHide hint
Consider components of energy in a flowing fluid.
4Question 4.
The Froude number equal to 1 indicates:
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Think about force balance in flow.
Question 5.
Design an open channel that ensures the Froude number does not exceed 2 during peak flow. Calculate the dimensions based on given flow characteristics.
Show hintHide hint
Think about how to manipulate flow depth and velocity effectively.
Question 6.
A sluice gate operation transitions flow from 1 m depth at 5 m/s to new conditions downstream. Calculate the new depth and velocity, assuming critical flow must be maintained.
Show hintHide hint
Focus on specific energy principles and continuity equations.
