Find the rate of flow and conveyance for a rectangular channel `7.5 m` wide for uniform flow at a depth of `2.25 m`. The channel is having bed slope as 1 in 1000. Take Chezyâ??s constant `C = 55`. Also state whether the flow is tranquil or rapid.

Solution:
 Width of the rectangular channel, b=7.5m'>b=7.5mb=7.5m
 Depth of flow, y=2.25m'>y=2.25my=2.25my=2.25m
Bed slope, S0'>S0S0S0 =11000'>110001100011000
Chezy's constant, C=55'>C=55C=55C=55
Now, we have,
Rate of flow, Q=A??V=A??CR??S0.......(I)'>Q=A??V=A??CR??S0????????????.......(I)Q=A??V=A??CR??S0????????????.......(I)Q=A??V=A??CR??S0????????????.......(I)
Where, Flow area, A=b??y=7.5??2.25=16.875m2'>A=b??y=7.5??2.25=16.875m2A=b??y=7.5??2.25=16.875m2A=b??y=7.5??2.25=16.875m2
Wetted perimeter, P=b+2y=7.5+2??2.25=12.0'>P=b+2y=7.5+2??2.25=12.0P=b+2y=7.5+2??2.25=12.0P=b+2y=7.5+2??2.25=12.0
Also,
hydraulic radius, R=AP=16.87512.0=1.406'>R=AP=16.87512.0=1.406R=AP=16.87512.0=1.406R=AP=16.87512.0=1.406
Thus from equation (I)'>(I)(I)(I),
Q=A??V=A??CR??S0=16.875'>Q=A??V=A??CR??S0????????????=16.875Q=A??V=A??CR??S0????????????=16.875Q=A??V=A??CR??S0????????????=16.875??....
