Wetted Area given Hydraulic Mean Depth Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Wetted Surface Area of Channel = Hydraulic Radius of Channel*Wetted Perimeter of Channel
A = R_H*p
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

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.
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.
Wetted Perimeter of Channel - (Measured in Meter) - Wetted Perimeter of Channel is defined as the surface of the channel bottom and sides in direct contact with the aqueous body.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Hydraulic Radius of Channel: 1.6 Meter --> 1.6 Meter No Conversion Required
Wetted Perimeter of Channel: 16 Meter --> 16 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

A = R_H*p --> 1.6*16

Evaluating ... ...

A = 25.6

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

25.6 Square Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

25.6 Square Meter <-- Wetted Surface Area of Channel
