Depth of Flow in most Efficient Channel in Trapezoidal Channel given Channel Slope Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Depth of Flow = (Width of Trap Channel*0.5)/(sqrt((Side slope of Trapezoidal Channel^2)+1)-Side slope of Trapezoidal Channel)
d_f = (B_trap*0.5)/(sqrt((z_trap^2)+1)-z_trap)
This formula uses 1 Functions, 3 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

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.
Width of Trap Channel - (Measured in Meter) - Width of Trap Channel is the width of the trapezoidal cross-section of the beam parallel to the axis in consideration.
Side slope of Trapezoidal Channel - Side slope of Trapezoidal Channel is side slope of trapezoidal channel, defined as horizontal to vertical ratio.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Width of Trap Channel: 3.8105 Meter --> 3.8105 Meter No Conversion Required
Side slope of Trapezoidal Channel: 0.577 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

d_f = (B_trap*0.5)/(sqrt((z_trap^2)+1)-z_trap) --> (3.8105*0.5)/(sqrt((0.577^2)+1)-0.577)

Evaluating ... ...

d_f = 3.29898885148509

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

3.29898885148509 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

3.29898885148509 ≈ 3.298989 Meter <-- Depth of Flow
