Repeat Prob. 13–124 for a trapezoidal channel that has a base width of 5 m and a side surface angle of 45°.
Data from Problem 124
A 5-m-wide rectangular channel lined with finished concrete is to be designed to transport water to a distance of 1 km at a rate of 12 m3/s. Using EES (or other) software, investigate the effect of bottom slope on flow depth (and thus on the required channel height). Let the bottom angle vary from 0.5 to 10° in increments of 0.5°. Tabulate and plot the flow depth against the bottom angle, and discuss the results.
