2 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
Define specific energy in the context of fluid flow.
Think about what energies are involved in the flow.
What is the continuity equation?
Consider how the area and velocity relate in flow.
What is specific energy?
Think about the energies present in flowing fluids.
Is head loss significant in open channel flow?
Consider how friction and turbulence affect energy.
An open channel has a width of 4 ft and a flow rate of 12 cubic feet per second. Determine the depth and specific energy at this point.
Remember to find depth before calculating energy.
Explain how varying the channel width affects flow velocity and energy loss.
Consider the relationship between area, width, and flow.
