STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Total Head at Entrance of Flow: 10.647 Meter --> 10.647 Meter No Conversion Required
Normal Depth of Flow: 1.2 Meter --> 1.2 Meter No Conversion Required
Bed Slope of Channel: 0.0127 --> No Conversion Required
Hydraulic Radius of Channel: 0.609 Meter --> 0.609 Meter No Conversion Required
Manning’s Roughness Coefficient: 0.012 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

K_e = ((H_in-h)/((2.2*S*r_h^(4/3)/((n*n)))/(2*[g])))-1 --> ((10.647-1.2)/((2.2*0.0127*0.609^(4/3)/((0.012*0.012)))/(2*[g])))-1

Evaluating ... ...

K_e = 0.849939902550201

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.849939902550201 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.849939902550201 ≈ 0.84994 <-- Entrance Loss Coefficient

What is Normal Depth?

Normal depth is the depth of flow in a channel or culvert when the slope of the water surface and channel bottom is the same and the water depth remains constant. Normal depth occurs when gravitational force of the water is equal to the friction drag along the culvert and there is no acceleration of flow.
