Manning's Formula for Average Velocity Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary
Formula Used
Average Velocity of Uniform Flow = (1/Manning’s Roughness Coefficient)*(Hydraulic Radius of Channel^(2/3))*(Bed Slope^(1/2))
Vavg(U) = (1/n)*(RH^(2/3))*(S^(1/2))
This formula uses 4 Variables
Variables Used
Average Velocity of Uniform Flow - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Average Velocity of Uniform Flow is defined as the mean of all different velocities.
Manning’s Roughness Coefficient - Manning’s Roughness Coefficient represents the roughness or friction applied to the flow by the channel.
Hydraulic Radius of Channel - (Measured in Meter) - Hydraulic Radius of Channel is the ratio of the cross-sectional area of a channel or pipe in which a fluid is flowing to the wet perimeter of the conduit.
Bed Slope - Bed Slope is used to calculate the shear stress at the bed of an open channel containing fluid that is undergoing steady, uniform flow.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Manning’s Roughness Coefficient: 0.012 --> No Conversion Required
Hydraulic Radius of Channel: 1.6 Meter --> 1.6 Meter No Conversion Required
Bed Slope: 0.0004 --> No Conversion Required
STEP 2: Evaluate Formula
Substituting Input Values in Formula
Vavg(U) = (1/n)*(RH^(2/3))*(S^(1/2)) --> (1/0.012)*(1.6^(2/3))*(0.0004^(1/2))
Evaluating ... ...
Vavg(U) = 2.27996792890226
STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit
2.27996792890226 Meter per Second --> No Conversion Required
FINAL ANSWER
2.27996792890226 2.279968 Meter per Second <-- Average Velocity of Uniform Flow
(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)
