Total Energy of Flow Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Total Energy in Open Channel = Depth of Flow+(Discharge for GVF Flow^2)/(2*[g]*Wetted Surface Area^2)
E_t = d_f+(Q_f^2)/(2*[g]*S^2)
This formula uses 1 Constants, 4 Variables

Constants Used

[g] - Gravitational acceleration on Earth Value Taken As 9.80665

Variables Used

Total Energy in Open Channel - (Measured in Joule) - Total Energy in Open Channel is the sum of the kinetic energy and the potential energy of the system under consideration.
Depth of Flow - (Measured in Meter) - Depth of Flow 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.
Discharge for GVF Flow - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Second) - Discharge for GVF Flow is rate of flow per unit time.
Wetted Surface Area - (Measured in Square Meter) - Wetted Surface Area is the total area of outer surface in contact with the surrounding water.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Depth of Flow: 3.3 Meter --> 3.3 Meter No Conversion Required
Discharge for GVF Flow: 177 Cubic Meter per Second --> 177 Cubic Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Wetted Surface Area: 4.01 Square Meter --> 4.01 Square Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

E_t = d_f+(Q_f^2)/(2*[g]*S^2) --> 3.3+(177^2)/(2*[g]*4.01^2)

Evaluating ... ...
