The ratio of the depth of flow to the diameter of the channel for maximum discharge in a circular channel in open channel flow is________________?

Correct answer: C. 0.95

  • A. 0.1
  • B. 0.55
  • C. 0.95
  • D. 1.85

Explanation

For maximum discharge, maximizing A^(5/3)/P^(2/3) for a circular section gives a flow depth of about 0.94 times the diameter. Hence the closest option is 0.95.
