Question No.1 2008-MID SEMESTER PAPER
PROBLEM : A 20m wide channel has a flow velocity of 1.5 m/s, depth of 3m
and bed slope 1/10000. The channel carries suspended load with D50=50um.
The concentration Ca is 0.1 kg/m
3
at a distance 0.3m above the bed. Using
Rouse equation, determine the amount of suspended load for whole cross
section in Kg/day. Water temperature is 20
0
C.


Given Data :
= 1.5 m/s
Ca = 0.1 kg/m
3
a = 0.3 m
D
50
= 50 m =0.050 mm
i = 1/10000 m
Suspended Load=? (By using Rouse Equation)



SOLUTION :
Rouse equation for suspended load
C
y
/C
a
= [a/h-a . h-y/y]
Z
As Z = w/ku
*

So, u
*
= ghi
u
*
= 9.830.0001 =0.0542 m/s
Considering Fall velocity (w) graph using D50 and SF 0.07 we have
w = 1.9 mm/s = 0.0019 m/s
Now z = w/ku
*
whereas k=0.4
z = 0.0019/0.40.0542 = 0.087
u
*
/w =0.0542/0.0019 = 28.5



where z = w/ku
*
=0.087
Dividing the whole cross section of channel in strips of 0.3m depth
each and calculating concentration for various strips

So, using rouse equation we get

= C
a
x [{(a/(h-a)} . {(h-y)/y}]

For whole cross section width of 20 m
Ss= 0.645 x 20 Kg/sec
Ss= 12.9 kg/sec x 24x60x60= 11,14,560 Kg/day Answer.
