STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Hydraulic Radius of Channel = Shear Stress of Wall/(Liquid Specific Weight*Bed Slope)
R_H = ζ₀/(γ_l*S)
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Hydraulic Radius of Channel - (Measured in Meter) - Hydraulic Radius of Channel 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.
Shear Stress of Wall - (Measured in Pascal) - Shear Stress of Wall is defined as the shear stress in the layer of fluid next to the wall of a pipe.
Liquid Specific Weight - (Measured in Newton per Cubic Meter) - Liquid Specific Weight is also known as the unit weight, is the weight per unit volume of the liquid. For Example - Specific weight of water on Earth at 4°C is 9.807 kN/m3 or 62.43 lbf/ft3.
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.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Shear Stress of Wall: 6.3 Pascal --> 6.3 Pascal No Conversion Required
Liquid Specific Weight: 9.81 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter --> 9810 Newton per Cubic Meter (Check conversion here)
Bed Slope: 0.0004 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

R_H = ζ₀/(γ_l*S) --> 6.3/(9810*0.0004)

Evaluating ... ...
