Civil Engineering > GATE 2014 SET-1 > Open Channel Flow
A rectangular channel having a bed slope of 0.0001, width 3.0 m and Manning’s coefficient ‘n’ 0.015, carries a discharge of 1.0 m3/s. Given that the normal depth of flow ranges between 0.76 m and 0.8 m. The minimum width of a throat (in m) that is possible at a given section, while ensuring that the prevailing normal depth is not exceeded along the reach upstream of the contraction, is approximately equal to (assume negligible losses)
A
0.64
B
0.84
C
1.04
D
1.24

Correct : b
