The document provides the solution to designing an irrigation channel given a discharge of 11270 cusec and bed material size of 0.014 cm using Lacey's theory. The solution calculates the height, width, bed slope, and other parameters of the trapezoidal channel. It determines the height is 4.11 m, width is 75.66 m, and bed slope is 1 in 17453.

Q. Design an irrigation channel to carry a discharge of 11270 cusec.

The bed material size is


0.014 cm. Use Lacey’s theory for design. Assume reasonable value for missing data.
[SGCL-20]

Solution:
Where, Q = 11270 cusec = 11270/35.3 = 319.26 cumec
dmm = 0.014 cm = 0.14 mm
We know,
f = 1.76 d = 1.76 √0.14 = 0.66
. .
V=[ ]1/6 = [ ]1/6 = 1 m/s h/2

A = Q/V = 319.26/ 1 = 319.26 m2

R= = = 3.79 m

P = 4.75 𝑄 = 4.75 x √319.26 = 84.87 m b
For a trapezoidal channel with ½ H : 1 V slopes
P = b + √5 h
=> 84.87 = b + √5 h
=> b = 84.87 – 2.24 h ……………………. (i)

And, A = (b + h/2) h
=> 319.26 = bh + h2/2
=> 319.26 = 84.87 h – 2.24 h2 + 0.5 h2 [putting the value of b using equation (i)]
=> h2 – 48.72 h + 183.48 = 0

⸫h= =

Neglecting unfeasible (+) ve sign, we get


. .
h= = 4.11 m (ans)

from equation (i), b = 84.87 – 2.24 x 4.11 = 75.66 m (ans)

use a bed slope of 1 in 17453 (ans)

Solution:
Applying Bernoulli’s equation between A and B,
Z1 + y1 + = Z2 + y2 + + ℎL

 2.15 + 3.2 + .

 𝑉 - 𝑉 = 24.13 -----------------(i)
Now, V1 = = = and, V2 = = =

∴( ) - ( ) = 24.13

 Q = 81.25 m3/s

Again, V1 = = 5.08 m/s and, V2 = = 7.07 m/s
.

now using momentum equation,


M2 – M1 = F1 – F2 – F3
 ρ Q β2 V2 - ρ Q β1 V1 = ½ γ 𝑦 - ½ γ 𝑦 – F
 1000 x 81.25 x (1 x 7.07 - 1 x 5.08) = ½ x 1000 x 9.81 x (3.2 2 – 2.32) – F
 F = - 137407 N
The force on the weir plate is equal and opposite to F.

Method. [BCIC-18, SGCL-18, 20, BPDB-15]
Q. What is BOD and COD? [BMA-18, JOC-18, SGCL-20, 18]

BOD (Biochemical oxygen demand): The amount of oxygen required by micro-organisms while
stabilizing decomposable organic matter under aerobic condition.

COD (Chemical oxygen demand): The amount of oxygen required by oxidizing agent while
stabilizing all type of organic and inorganic matter.

Q. A sewer of dia 400 mm is laid on a grade of 0.015 with manning’s n = 0.013. What is the
discharge and velocity of the sewer when the depth of flow is 100 mm. [SGCL-20]

Solution:

We know, y = (1 - cos ) d

=> 100 = (1 - cos ) x 400 θ

=> θ = 1200 = 2.09 r


d
2 0 2 2 y
A = (θ - sin θ) d = (2.09 - sin 120 ) x ( ) = 0.024 m

R = (1 - ) d = (1 - )x( ) = 0.06 m
.

Velocity, V = R2/3 S1/2 = x (0.06)2/3 x (0.015)1/2 = 1.44 m/s (ans)

Discharge, Q = VA = 1.44 x 0.024 = 0.035 m3/s (ans)
