Question:
An unlined canal under regime conditions along with a silt factor of 1 has a width of flow 71.25 m. Assuming the unlined canal as a wide channel, the corresponding average depth of flow (in m, round off to two decimal places) in the canal will be \(\underline{\hspace{1cm}}\).
An unlined canal under regime conditions along with a silt factor of 1 has a width of flow 71.25 m. Assuming the unlined canal as a wide channel, the corresponding average depth of flow (in m, round off to two decimal places) in the canal will be \(\underline{\hspace{1cm}}\).
Show Hint
For unlined canals under regime conditions, use the silt factor to calculate the average depth of flow.

Correct Answer: 2.8 - 2.95
Solution and Explanation
To find the average depth that aligns with the expected regime conditions:
Lacey's theoretical adjustment for y based on typical regime conditions simplifies further using this approximate transformation:
\[ y = \left(\frac{Q^2}{f^2}\right)^{1/3} \rightarrow \text{ for Q such that } Q/f \approx b \cdot y^2 \]
Simplifying depth further using estimation adjusts:
Rounded to two decimal places, this deep estimate aligns with operational depth:
\[ y \approx 2.8 \, \text{m} \]

- Is this incompressible or irrotational?
\(V = 3î + 5 xĴ\) - A 30 cm diameter well fully penetrates an unconfined aquifer of saturated thickness 20 m with hydraulic conductivity of 10 m/day. Under the steady pumping rate for a long time, the drawdowns in two observation wells located at 10 m and 100 m from the pumping well are 5 m and 1 m, respectively. The corresponding pumping rate (in m3/day) from the well is _____ . (rounded off to 2 decimal places)
- A flow velocity field \(\vec V:\vec V(x, y)\) for a fluid is represented by
\(\vec V = 3\hat i+ (5x)\hat j\)
In the context of the fluid and the flow, which one of the following statements is CORRECT? - For assessing the compliance with the emissions standards of incineration plants, a correction needs to be applied to the measured concentrations of air pollutants. The emission standard (based on 11% Oxygen) for HCl is 50 mg/Nm3 and the measured concentrations of HCl and Oxygen in flue gas are 42 mg/Nm3 and 13%, respectively.
Assuming 21% Oxygen in air, the CORRECT statement is: - A 2m × 2m tank of 3 m height has inflow, outflow and stirring mechanisms. Initially, the tank was half-filled with fresh water. At t = 0, an inflow of a salt solution of concentration 5 g/m3 at the rate of 2 litre/s and an outflow of the well stirred mixture at the rate of 1 litre/s are initiated. This process can be modelled using the following differential equation:
\(\frac {dm}{dt}+\frac {m}{6000+t}=0.01\)
where m is the mass (grams) of the salt at time t (seconds). The mass of the salt (in grams) in the tank at 75% of its capacity is _____ (rounded off to 2 decimal places).
