Top Width given Section Factors Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary
Formula Used
Top Width = (Wetted Surface Area of Channel^3)/(Section Factor^2)
T = (A^3)/(Z^2)
This formula uses 3 Variables
Variables Used
Top Width - (Measured in Meter) - Top Width is defined as the width at the top of the section.
Wetted Surface Area of Channel - (Measured in Square Meter) - Wetted Surface Area of Channel [length^2] is the total area of outer surface in contact with the surrounding water.
Section Factor - (Measured in Meter^2.5) - Section Factor is ratio of normal to critical channel depth.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Wetted Surface Area of Channel: 25 Square Meter --> 25 Square Meter No Conversion Required
Section Factor: 6.8 Meter^2.5 --> 6.8 Meter^2.5 No Conversion Required
STEP 2: Evaluate Formula
Substituting Input Values in Formula
T = (A^3)/(Z^2) --> (25^3)/(6.8^2)
Evaluating ... ...
T = 337.910899653979
STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit
337.910899653979 Meter --> No Conversion Required
FINAL ANSWER
337.910899653979 337.9109 Meter <-- Top Width

What is Open Channel Flow ?

Open-channel flow, a branch of hydraulics and fluid mechanics, is a type of liquid flow within a conduit or in channel with a free surface, known as a channel. The other type of flow within a conduit is pipe flow. These two types of flow are similar in many ways but differ in one important respect: the free surface.
