y ENGINEERING MODELS & equPMeNT ‘ Ott 5 : Jj EXPERIMENT NO. 1 1.0 OBJECTIVE: . x To determine Manning's coefficient of rouyliness n for the bed of a given flume 2.0 APPARATUS: Atlificially made rough plate in the tiling flue INTRODUCTION AND THEORY: al S ‘An open channel flow is snid to be uniform if the depth of flow does not change from section to section at any instant of time. This means that the depth everywhere in thé reach under consideration is the same at any instant of time. One primary condition for the uniform flow to exist is that the driving force (ue San Jo gravity) is equal (o the-resistins force (due to-friction). ops , phere For uniform flow in an open channel, the mean velocity, V is given as 1 ii Regia : a) a where, n is the Manning’s coefficient of roughness, R the hydraulic radius and S the slope of the channel bed. Equation (1) is known as the Manning’s equation. 4.0 EXPERIMENTAL PROCEDURE: Place the artificially ropghened plate in the central portion of the flume. : Select three different sections in the plate.. These sections may be at upstream, centre & downstream side. Take the pointer gauge readings for the bed levels at these sections. ee é Step3: Open the'supply valve. Adjust the discharge sa: che tail gale so as to geta suitable value of depth of flow in the flume. Step4: Wait until the flow becomes uniform at which conditions the depth of flow at the sections chosen in slep2 must be approximately the same, Take the pointer gauge readings for the water :t::faze slevatiosss at these sectionnnw , Slep5: Measure the discharge by the help of orifigemeter provided in the discharge line, Step6: Repent steps3 & srep4 for other values of discharges. Take about 2 to 3 sets of observations. : 5.0 COMMENTS: Before starting the experiment flow must be uniform in the fume, INGINEERING MODELS & EQUIPMENT Cont.
