Total Energy at Critical Point Formula Elements

Variables
Energy at Critical Point
Energy at Critical Point is the total energy (both potential and kinetic energy) at the point of jump formation.
Symbol: Ec
Measurement: LengthUnit: m
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Critical Depth
Critical Depth occurs when the flow in a channel has a minimum specific energy. Specific energy refers to the sum of the depth of flow and the velocity head.
Symbol: dc
Measurement: LengthUnit: m
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Critical Velocity
The Critical velocity is the greatest velocity with which a fluid can flow through a given conduit without becoming turbulent.
Symbol: Vc
Measurement: SpeedUnit: m/s
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Acceleration due to Gravity
Acceleration due to Gravity is a fundamental physical constant that represents the acceleration of an object due to the force of gravity exerted by the Earth.
Symbol: g
Measurement: AccelerationUnit: m/s²
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Head Loss
Head Loss is a measure of the reduction in the total head (sum of elevation head, velocity head and pressure head) of the fluid as it moves through a fluid system.
Symbol: hf
Measurement: LengthUnit: m
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
