Q1: The Chezy's constant C in the formula V = C rs depends upon

A size of the sewer

B shape of the sewer

C roughness of sewer surface

D hydraulic characteristics of sewer

E all the above.

ANS:E - all the above.

The Chezy's constant C in the formula V=Crs​ (where V is the velocity, r is the hydraulic radius, and s is the slope of the energy grade line) depends upon all the above factors:

  1. Size of the sewer: The size of the sewer influences the flow characteristics, such as the flow depth and capacity, which in turn affect the velocity.
  2. Shape of the sewer: The shape of the sewer determines the hydraulic characteristics, including the hydraulic radius r, which is a key parameter in determining flow velocity.
  3. Roughness of sewer surface: The roughness of the sewer surface affects the flow resistance and friction losses, influencing the velocity and hence the value of C.
  4. Hydraulic characteristics of the sewer: The hydraulic characteristics, which encompass factors such as size, shape, and roughness, collectively determine the flow behavior and performance of the sewer system.
Therefore, all of these factors contribute to the determination of Chezy's constant C, which is used to calculate the velocity of flow in open channels such as sewers.
