Hydraulic diameter for non-circular ducts is equal to ___________ times the area of flow divided by the perimeter?

Correct answer: C. Four

  • A. Two
  • B. Three
  • C. Four
  • D. Eight

Explanation

The hydraulic diameter is defined as D_h = 4A/P, where A is the flow area and P is the wetted perimeter. The factor is four, not two, because the expression matches a circular pipe diameter.
