  • A \(\frac{\partial q}{\partial x}\) = 0
  • B \(\frac{\partial Q}{\partial x}\) = 0
  • C \(\frac{\partial Q}{\partial x}\)  - q = 0
  • D \(\frac{\partial Q}{\partial x}\)  + q = 0

Question - 3

Steady flow in a channel exists when the

  • B depth does not change with time 
  • C channel is frictionless
  • D channel bed si not curved

Question - 4

A flood wave while passing down a river section protected by embankments , spills over the embankment at certain locations. The flow is classified as

  • A steady GVF
  • B unsteady RVF
  • C steady SVF
  • D unsteady SVF

Question - 5

At a section in a channel expansion, the velocity over a quarter of the cross section is zero and is uniform over the remaining three - fourths of the area.The kinetic energy correction factor is 

  • A 1.78
  • B   1.33  
  • C 1.67  
  • D 2.00

Question - 6

  • C
  • D

Question - 8
