Width of Channel in Most Efficient Channel when Bottom width is kept constant Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Width of Trap Channel = Depth of Flow*((1-(Side slope of Trapezoidal Channel^2))/Side slope of Trapezoidal Channel)
B_trap = d_f*((1-(z_trap^2))/z_trap)
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Width of Trap Channel - (Measured in Meter) - Width of Trap Channel is the width of the trapezoidal cross-section of the beam parallel to the axis in 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.
Side slope of Trapezoidal Channel - Side slope of Trapezoidal Channel is side slope of trapezoidal channel, defined as horizontal to vertical ratio.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Depth of Flow: 3.3 Meter --> 3.3 Meter No Conversion Required
Side slope of Trapezoidal Channel: 0.577 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

B_trap = d_f*((1-(z_trap^2))/z_trap) --> 3.3*((1-(0.577^2))/0.577)

Evaluating ... ...

B_trap = 3.81513743500867

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

3.81513743500867 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

3.81513743500867 ≈ 3.815137 Meter <-- Width of Trap Channel

What is Open Channel Flow?

Open-channel flow, a branch of hydraulics and fluid mechanics, is a type of liquid flow within a conduit or in channel with a free surface, known as a channel. The other type of flow within a conduit is pipe flow. These two types of flow are similar in many ways but differ in one important respect: the free surface.
