As y approaches infinity so does A, and the second term in the expression for E
approaches zero. Then, as y approaches infinity, the upper limb becomes asymptotical to
the straight line E=y. This straight line makes a 45º angle with each of the E and y axes.
As y approaches zero so does A, and the second term approaches infinity. Therefore, the
lower limb is asymptotical to the E axis, which can also be defined by y= 0.
Problem 8:
From Figure 2.11, the minimum specific energy, EBmin, at section B required to pass 290
cfs is 4.0 ft. The corresponding minimum specific energy at A is EAmin= 4.0 +1.0= 5.0 ft.
The flow has a specific energy of 5.5 ft at A under the given flow conditions. This is
larger than the required specific energy.

Q/(g0.5
d0
2.5
)= 20/[(32.2)0.5
(3.0)2.5
]= 0.226
yJ1/d0= 1.0/3.0= 0.33
From Figure 2.29, yJ2/d0= 0.67. Therefore, yJ2= 0.67 (3.0)= 2.0 ft
Let us now verify mathematically if the hydraulic jump equation (Equation 2.21) is
satisfied. For d0= 36 inches= 3.0 ft. Q= 20 cfs, yJ1= 1.0 ft, by using the expressions from
Table 2.1, we obtain θ= 1.23 rad., A= 2.06 ft2
, and AYC= 0.85 ft3
. Then, by using
11. 20
Equation 2.19, we find MJ1= 6.88 ft3
. Likewise for d0= 36 inches= 3.0 ft. Q= 20 cfs, yJ2=
2.0 ft, by using the expressions from Table 2.1, we obtain θ= 1.91 rad., A= 5.01 ft2
, and
AYC= 4.39ft3
. Then, by using Equation 2.19, we find MJ2= 6.88 ft3
. Because MJ1= MJ2 the
jump equation is satisfied with yJ2= 2.0 ft.
Problem 14:
Givens: d0= 1.0m, Q= 0.75 m3
/s, yJ1= 0.30m.
Q/(g0.5
d0
2.5
)= 0.75/[(9.81)0.5
(1.0)2.5
]= 0.24
yJ1/d0= 0.30/1.0= 0.3
From Figure 2.29, we find yJ2/d0= 0.76. Therefore, yJ2= 0.76 (1.0)= 0.76 m.
Let us now verify mathematically if the hydraulic jump equation (Equation 2.21) is
satisfied. For d0= 1.0m, Q= 0.75 m3
/s, yJ1= 0.30m, by using the expressions from Table
2.1, we obtain θ= 1.16 rad., A= 0.20 m2
, and AYC= 0.02 m3
. Then, by using Equation
2.19, we find MJ1= 0.31 m3
. Likewise for d d0= 1.0m, Q= 0.75 m3
/s, yJ2= 0.76m, by using
the expressions from Table 2.1, we obtain θ= 2.12 rad., A= 0.64 m2
, and AYC= 0.31m3
.
Then, by using Equation 2.19, we find MJ2= 0.31 m3
. Because MJ1= MJ2 the jump
equation is satisfied with yJ2= 0.76 m.
Problem 15:
(a) Givens: Trapezoidal channel, Q= 200 cfs, b= 6.0 ft, m= 2, yJ1= 1.0 ft.

Problem 19:
The hydraulic jump equation on a sloped channel would include the component of the
weight of water in the flow direction. With reference to Equation 2.18, the jump equation
becomes

0

2
J

J M
A
A
xS
M =

∆
+
Therefore for the same yJ1, the magnitude of MJ2 would be larger. An inspection of any
specific momentum would reveal that, on the subcritical limb, a larger MJ2 corresponds to
a larger yJ2.
Problem 20:
If the friction forces are not negligible, the hydraulic jump equation includes a friction
force term opposing the flow. With reference to Equation 2.18, the hydraulic jump
equation becomes
2
1 J
f
J M
F
M =
−
γ
Therefore for the same yJ1, the magnitude of MJ2 would be smaller. An inspection of a
specific momentum diagram would reveal that, on the subcritical limb, a smaller MJ2
corresponds to a smaller yJ2.
