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.
Wetted Surface Area of Trapezoidal Channel - (Measured in Square Meter) - Wetted Surface Area of Trapezoidal Channel [length^2] is the total area of outer surface in contact with the surrounding water.
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
Wetted Surface Area of Trapezoidal Channel: 18.86 Square Meter --> 18.86 Square 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 = (STrap/df(trap))-(ztrap*df(trap)) --> (18.86/3.32)-(0.577*3.32)
Evaluating ... ...
