Sf = ((n*vm,R)^2)/(RH^(4/3))
This formula uses 4 Variables
Variables Used
Energy Slope - Energy Slope is at a distance equal to the velocity head above the hydraulic gradient.
Manning’s Roughness Coefficient - Manning’s Roughness Coefficient represents the roughness or friction applied to the flow by the channel.
Mean Velocity for Varied Flow - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Mean velocity for Varied Flow is defined as the average velocity of a fluid at a point and over an arbitrary time T.
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.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Manning’s Roughness Coefficient: 0.012 --> No Conversion Required
Mean Velocity for Varied Flow: 56.2 Meter per Second --> 56.2 Meter per Second No Conversion Required
