Civil Engineering > GATE 2025 SET-1 > Open Channel Flow
A 5.0 m wide rectangular channel carries a discharge of 10 m3/s at a depth of 1.5 m under uniform flow. To produce critical flow conditions without affecting the upstream conditions, the channel bottom elevation should be raised (in m) by ______ (rounded off to 2 decimal places).
Assume that there is no loss of head at the raise, kinetic energy correction factor is 1.0, and acceleration due to gravity is 9.81 m/s2.

Correct : 0.34
