The correct conditions for which the hydraulically efficient rectangular channel will deliver maximum discharge are P - depth of water is equal to half the breadth of channel Q - depth of water is equal to breadth of channel R - depth of water is equal to twice the breadth of channel S - hydraulic radius is equal to half the depth of water
To determine the correct conditions for which a hydraulically efficient rectangular channel delivers maximum discharge, we need to analyze each given condition and understand some basic concepts of open channel flow.
For a rectangular channel to be hydraulically efficient, it should minimize the wetted perimeter for a given cross-sectional area to maximize the hydraulic radius, \(R_h\), which is given by:
\(R_h = \frac{A}{P}\)
where:
The condition for maximum discharge in a most efficient rectangular channel is when the hydraulic radius is maximized. For a rectangular channel of breadth \(b\) and depth \(d\), the area \(A = b \cdot d\), and the wetted perimeter \(P = b + 2d\). Thus, hydraulic radius \(R_h = \frac{b \cdot d}{b + 2d}\).
Now, let's evaluate each condition:
In conclusion, the correct set of conditions for maximum discharge are P and S. Hence, the correct answer is:
P and S.
