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
Discharge of Channel - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Second) - Discharge of Channel is the rate of flow of a liquid.
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.
Wetted Surface Area of Channel - (Measured in Square Meter) - Wetted Surface Area of Channel [length^2] is the total area of outer surface in contact with the surrounding water.
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.
Wetted Perimeter of Channel - (Measured in Meter) - Wetted Perimeter of Channel is defined as the surface of the channel bottom and sides in direct contact with the aqueous body.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Chezy's Constant: 40 --> No Conversion Required

What is Rate of Flow?

In physics and engineering, in particular fluid dynamics, the volumetric flow rate is the volume of fluid which passes per unit time; usually it is represented by the symbol Q. The SI unit is cubic metres per second. Another unit used is standard cubic centimetres per minute. In hydrometry, it is known as discharge.
