What is Hydraulic Mean Depth?
Hydraulic mean radius, also known as hydraulic radius, is the ratio of the cross-sectional area of fluid flow to the wetted perimeter in a channel or pipe. It is a key parameter in fluid mechanics, influencing flow velocity, discharge, and resistance. The hydraulic radius is crucial for calculating flow characteristics in open channels and full or partially full pipes, helping to determine the efficiency and capacity of water conveyance systems.
How to Calculate Unit Weight of Water given Hydraulic Mean Depth?
Unit Weight of Water given Hydraulic Mean Depth calculator uses Unit Weight of Fluid = Drag Force/(Hydraulic Mean Depth*Bed Slope of a Sewer) to calculate the Unit Weight of Fluid, The Unit Weight of Water given Hydraulic Mean Depth is defined as the weight per unit volume, often expressed in N/m³ or lb/ft³, and varies with fluid density. Unit Weight of Fluid is denoted by γw symbol.
How to calculate Unit Weight of Water given Hydraulic Mean Depth using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Unit Weight of Water given Hydraulic Mean Depth, enter Drag Force (FD), Hydraulic Mean Depth (m) & Bed Slope of a Sewer (S̄) and hit the calculate button.
