Depth of Flow given Total Energy in Flow Section taking Bed Slope as Datum Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Depth of Flow = Total Energy-(((Mean Velocity^2)/(2*[g])))
d_f = E_total-(((V_mean^2)/(2*[g])))
This formula uses 1 Constants, 3 Variables

Constants Used

[g] - Gravitational acceleration on Earth Value Taken As 9.80665

Variables Used

Depth of Flow - (Measured in Meter) - Depth of Flow is the distance from the top or surface of the flow to the bottom of a channel or other waterway or Depth of Flow at the Vertical while measuring Sound Weights.
Total Energy - (Measured in Joule) - Total Energy is the sum of the kinetic energy and the potential energy of the system under consideration.
Mean Velocity - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Mean velocity is defined as the average velocity of a fluid at a point and over an arbitrary time T.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Total Energy: 8.6 Joule --> 8.6 Joule No Conversion Required
Mean Velocity: 10.1 Meter per Second --> 10.1 Meter per Second No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

d_f = E_total-(((V_mean^2)/(2*[g]))) --> 8.6-(((10.1^2)/(2*[g])))

Evaluating ... ...

d_f = 3.39893745570608

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

3.39893745570608 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

3.39893745570608 ≈ 3.398937 Meter <-- Depth of Flow
