Kindly help me,

If ::h = 0.88 then by width= 2h, it becomes equal to = 1.76.

According to me, it is (Q/v) = 1.5 * 0.9 = 1.35.

For sewer velocity is 0.9m/sec to 0.75. So Q = AV.

Given b =2d and Q = 1.5.
Then A = Q/v, bd = 1.5/0.9 = 1.67.

(2d)d = 1.67, d = 0.91.
Hence b = 2(0.91) = 1.82 m.

@Gopal Lal Kumawat.

2% is the right answer.

Answer depends on velocity which is not given.

DHAWAL KALRA said:   1 decade ago
Here we can't assume the velocity direct as designing of sewer relates to max and min conditions of flow.

I think they have to give slope of channel & manning constant then only we can approach to solve.

Sadanand said:   9 years ago
It means we have to design the sewer for high velocity.

What are the units of discharge?

Can you verify that once in question?

Kranthi said:   9 years ago
I think the given question is wrong.

Because units of discharge is cubic meter per sec.
