Hydraulic Radius given Mean Velocity of flow in Smooth Channels Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Hydraulic Radius of Channel = (10^(((Average Velocity of Turbulent flow/Shear Velocity)-3.25)/5.75))*(Kinematic Viscosity of Turbulent Flow/Shear Velocity)
R_H = (10^(((V_avg(Tur)/V_shear)-3.25)/5.75))*(ν_Tur/V_shear)
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.
Average Velocity of Turbulent flow - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Average Velocity of Turbulent flow is defined as the mean of all different velocities.
Shear Velocity - (Measured in Meter per Second) - The Shear Velocity refers to the measure of the shear stress exerted by the fluid flow on the boundary, such as the bed of a river or the walls of a pipe.
Kinematic Viscosity of Turbulent Flow - (Measured in Square Meter per Second) - Kinematic Viscosity of Turbulent Flow is an atmospheric variable defined as the ratio between the dynamic viscosity μ and the density ρ of the fluid.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Average Velocity of Turbulent flow: 380 Meter per Second --> 380 Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Shear Velocity: 9 Meter per Second --> 9 Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Kinematic Viscosity of Turbulent Flow: 0.029 Stokes --> 2.9E-06 Square Meter per Second (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

R_H = (10^(((V_avg(Tur)/V_shear)-3.25)/5.75))*(ν_Tur/V_shear) --> (10^(((380/9)-3.25)/5.75))*(2.9E-06/9)

Evaluating ... ...

R_H = 1.93167147324992

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

1.93167147324992 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

1.93167147324992 ≈ 1.931671 Meter <-- Hydraulic Radius of Channel
