Hydraulic Radius of Open Channel Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Hydraulic Radius of Rectangle = (Width of Section of Rect Channel*Depth of Flow of Channel)/(Width of Section of Rect Channel+2*Depth of Flow of Channel)
R_H(rect) = (B_rect*D_f)/(B_rect+2*D_f)
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Hydraulic Radius of Rectangle - (Measured in Meter) - Hydraulic Radius of Rectangle 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.
Width of Section of Rect Channel - (Measured in Meter) - Width of Section of Rect Channel is the width of the rectangular cross-section of the beam parallel to the axis in consideration.
Depth of Flow of Channel - (Measured in Meter) - Depth of Flow of Channel is the distance from the top or surface of the flow to the bottom of a channel or other waterway or Depth of Flow at the Vertical while measuring Sound Weights.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Width of Section of Rect Channel: 10.4 Meter --> 10.4 Meter No Conversion Required
Depth of Flow of Channel: 5.2 Meter --> 5.2 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

R_H(rect) = (B_rect*D_f)/(B_rect+2*D_f) --> (10.4*5.2)/(10.4+2*5.2)

Evaluating ... ...

R_H(rect) = 2.6

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

2.6 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

2.6 Meter <-- Hydraulic Radius of Rectangle
