Chezy Constant given Discharge Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Chezy's Constant = Discharge of Channel/(Cross-Sectional Area of Channel*sqrt(Hydraulic Radius of Channel*Bed Slope))
C = Q/(A_cs*sqrt(R_H*S))
This formula uses 1 Functions, 5 Variables

Functions Used

sqrt - A square root function is a function that takes a non-negative number as an input and returns the square root of the given input number., sqrt(Number)

Variables Used

Chezy's Constant - The Chezy's constant is a dimensionless quantity that can be calculated by three formulas, namely: Bazin Formula. Ganguillet -Kutter Formula. Manning's Formula.
Discharge of Channel - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Second) - Discharge of Channel is the rate of flow of a liquid.
Cross-Sectional Area of Channel - (Measured in Square Meter) - Cross-Sectional Area of Channel is the area of a two-dimensional shape that is obtained when a three-dimensional shape is sliced perpendicular to some specified axis at a point.
Hydraulic Radius of Channel - (Measured in Meter) - Hydraulic Radius of Channel is the ratio of the cross-sectional area of a channel or pipe in which a fluid is flowing to the wet perimeter of the conduit.
Bed Slope - Bed Slope is used to calculate the shear stress at the bed of an open channel containing fluid that is undergoing steady, uniform flow.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Discharge of Channel: 14 Cubic Meter per Second --> 14 Cubic Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Cross-Sectional Area of Channel: 15 Square Meter --> 15 Square Meter No Conversion Required
