100

velocity,C/S area and  depth remains constant 

Define uniform flow. 

100

open channel is a passage in which liquid will flows 

what do you mean be open channel flow  

100

most economical channel is a channel in which the perimeter should be minimum 

what do mean most economical channel section 

100

velocity per unit area 

what is specific energy 

100

froud's number is equal to  one 

what is critical flow 

200

maximum discharge can achive

advantages of uniform flow 
200

natural,artificial,steady,unsteady,uniform and non uniform

classifications of open channel flow

200

rectangular,trapezoidal and triangular 

most economical channel sections 

200

E=Y+V2/2g

specific energy equation 

200

reduce the rate of flow of discharge and specific energy 

critical flow effect

300

in man made channels, irrigation channels depth should be minimum,cross sectional area should be minimum 

where we can able to achieve uniform flow 

300

steady-velocity depth constant

unsteady-velocity depth varies

uniform-c/s area same 

natural- naturally made

artificial- man made


how do you classified open channels 

300

rectangular-d/2

triangular-d/2

trapezoidal-d/3

depth for most economical channel sections 

300

x axis- specific energy 

y axis -depth
