Flow from a concrete channel (n = 0.017) falls freely into a reservoir at a rate of 7.8 m3/s. The width and longitudinal slope of the channel are 5 m and 0.0006, respectively. At the inlet of the reservoir, the flow becomes critical. Analyse the type of profile and plot the water surface profile using numerical integration and the direct step method with 4 steps.

: Water flows over a smooth submerged object in a channel of width 1.2 m. The water depth upstream of the object is 2.2 m and the water depth downstream is 0.5 m. i) Use the Bernoulli and Continuity equations to calculate the discharge within the channel, and sketch the energy grade line and hydraulic grade line for this problem. ii) The measured discharge in the channel is 2.4 m³/s. Calculate the discharge coefficient, and describe what this physically represents. iii) A pitot tube (or stagnation tube) is placed in the downstream part of the channel, where the water depth is 0.5 m. Calculate the height to which water will rise within this pitot tube (above the depth of water in the channel).
