This formula uses 5 Variables
Variables Used
Environmental Discharge - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Second) - Environmental Discharge is the rate of flow of a liquid.
Area of Cross Section - (Measured in Square Meter) - Area of Cross Section is when a plane cuts a solid object, an area is projected onto the plane.
Hydraulic Radius - (Measured in Meter) - Hydraulic Radius 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.
Slope of Bed - Slope of Bed is the inclination or gradient of a channel or riverbed along its length.
Manning’s Roughness Coefficient - Manning’s Roughness Coefficient represents the roughness or friction applied to the flow by the channel.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Area of Cross Section: 3.5 Square Meter --> 3.5 Square Meter No Conversion Required
