Head at Entrance given Discharge through Channel Solution

Follow our step by step solution on how to calculate Head at Entrance given Discharge through Channel?

FIRST Step Consider the formula
hi=(QCdAiAf(2[g]Ai2-Af2))2+ho
Next Step Substitute values of Variables
hi=(14m³/s0.667.11.8(2[g]7.12-1.82))2+15.1m
Next Step Substitute values of Constants
hi=(14m³/s0.667.11.8(29.8066m/s²7.12-1.82))2+15.1m
Next Step Prepare to Evaluate
hi=(140.667.11.8(29.80667.12-1.82))2+15.1
Next Step Evaluate
hi=21.7255463673269m
LAST Step Rounding Answer
hi=21.7255m
