Area of Trapezoidal Channel Section for Smaller Discharge Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary
Formula Used
Area of Channel = (Bed Width of Channel*Depth of Canal with Trapezoidal Cross Section)+Depth of Canal with Trapezoidal Cross Section^2*(Side Slope+cot(Side Slope))
A = (B*y)+y^2*(θ+cot(θ))
This formula uses 1 Functions, 4 Variables
Functions Used
cot - Cotangent is a trigonometric function that is defined as the ratio of the adjacent side to the opposite side in a right triangle., cot(Angle)
Variables Used
Area of Channel - (Measured in Square Meter) - Area of Channel is the total area is divided into three, smaller ones.
Bed Width of Channel - (Measured in Meter) - Bed Width of Channel the distance between the bottom of the left bank and the bottom of the right bank.
Depth of Canal with Trapezoidal Cross Section - (Measured in Meter) - Depth of canal with trapezoidal cross section.
Side Slope - (Measured in Radian) - Side slope is the slope of the cut or fill expressed as the ratio of horizontal distance to vertical distance.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Bed Width of Channel: 48 Meter --> 48 Meter No Conversion Required
Depth of Canal with Trapezoidal Cross Section: 1.635 Meter --> 1.635 Meter No Conversion Required
Side Slope: 45 Degree --> 0.785398163397301 Radian (Check conversion here)
STEP 2: Evaluate Formula
Substituting Input Values in Formula
A = (B*y)+y^2*(θ+cot(θ)) --> (48*1.635)+1.635^2*(0.785398163397301+cot(0.785398163397301))
Evaluating ... ...
A = 83.2527710053485
STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit
83.2527710053485 Square Meter --> No Conversion Required
FINAL ANSWER
83.2527710053485 83.25277 Square Meter <-- Area of Channel
(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)

What is the most Efficient Channel Section?

Compared to other cross-sections, the semicircular section has the lowest wetted perimeter, and is, therefore, the section of the highest efficiency, but, due to practical limitations in maintaining the section, trapezoidal channels are usually employed.

Why do we use Trapezoidal Channels?

Overall, the trapezoidal flume style generates the lowest head loss of any sort of short throated flume. This is due to its flat bottom, which allows it to sit flush on the floor of the majority of channels. In addition, its outward sloping sidewalls allow large flows to pass through unimpeded.

How to Calculate Area of Trapezoidal Channel Section for Smaller Discharge?

Area of Trapezoidal Channel Section for Smaller Discharge calculator uses Area of Channel = (Bed Width of Channel*Depth of Canal with Trapezoidal Cross Section)+Depth of Canal with Trapezoidal Cross Section^2*(Side Slope+cot(Side Slope)) to calculate the Area of Channel, The Area of Trapezoidal Channel Section for Smaller Discharge formula is defined as an open channel with a trapezoidal cross-section where both sides have the same slope. Area of Channel is denoted by A symbol.
