Hi SlideRuleEra. The 2.16' vertical distance appears consistent w/ my calcs & others of this thread. I think that in reality since this 'water-jet' is un-confined & will fan-out, that it would not shoot out into the street as far as the calcs state, added the 5% perpendicular street component...
This is not a homework problem, this is realilty. I designed a detention basin that outlets into an existing street section. When the basin is working at the maximum design for a 100-year storm event the flow rate & velocity is as stated. Emperical data was provided by witness to the basin's...
Hi Denial. The road-section is sloped upward 2% in the direction of the water jet (parallel). The road is sloped 5% perpendicular to the jet stream, therefore flow will run up the road x-section and then run downwards, perpendicular to the jet stream along the 5% slope of the road. In...
Thanks 'proletariat' for your response. The actual velocity stated is a big 11.8 fps, the Q is 5.84 cfs. It appears that the main problem is factoring in the friction component of the road section as you acknowledged. I'm still working on this issue,any input is appreciated. Thanks again.
I'm trying to figure out how far up an asphalt road section a jet of water would go. The flow rate is 5.84 cfs at a velocity of 11.8 fps. The Manning's n-value is 0.016 for the road section which is inclined upward at 2%. My references have equations that assume no friction so I'm coming up...
