This formula uses 4 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.
Top Width of Trapezoidal Channel - (Measured in Meter) - Top Width of Trapezoidal Channel is defined as width at top of section.
Depth of Flow of Trapezoidal Channel - (Measured in Meter) - Depth of Flow of Trapezoidal 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.
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
Top Width of Trapezoidal Channel: 7.62 Meter --> 7.62 Meter No Conversion Required
Depth of Flow of Trapezoidal Channel: 3.32 Meter --> 3.32 Meter No Conversion Required
Side slope of Trapezoidal Channel: 0.577 --> No Conversion Required
STEP 2: Evaluate Formula
Substituting Input Values in Formula
Btrap = TTrap-2*df(trap)*ztrap --> 7.62-2*3.32*0.577
Evaluating ... ...
Btrap = 3.78872
STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit
3.78872 Meter --> No Conversion Required
FINAL ANSWER
3.78872 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.
