With this first approximation of do. use <br />equation 4 to obtain a trial value of Q. <br />4.

Having trial values of Q, d" and d, (which <br />is d,), compute <br /> <br />(a) OI.,V,'/2g <br /> <br />(b) h,,_, <br /> <br />(c) h,...,. <br /> <br />6. Compute H=h,+OI.,V,'/2g-h,,_,-h"_3' <br />7. Use value from step 6 as numerator in <br />ratio H/D, Use this ratio as ordinll.te in <br />figure 10 to read d,/ D. <br />8. From step 7, compute d,. <br />9, Using value of d, from step 8 in equation 4, <br />compute Q. <br />10. Compute Q'/2gC'(hl-z)(D'), using Q from <br />step 9. <br />11. Use the value from step 10 in figure 12 to <br />obtain d,/D and compute d,. <br />12, Compute the velocity head and friction <br />with latest values of Q, do. and d,. Also <br />compute A, and K,. <br />13. Compute Q from equation 7. The com- <br />puted Q should closely check the as- <br />sumed Q of step 9. <br /> <br />14. If the diseharge computed with equation 7 <br />is not within 1 percent of the discharge <br />computed in step 9, the assumed value <br />of d, is incorrect. The correct nIue of d, <br />must be determined by successin "p_ <br />proximation, repeating the procedure <br />outlined above. <br />15. After the discharge and the elevation of <br />the water surface at critical depth are <br />established, the llSSumption of type 2 <br />flow is checked by comparing the eleva- <br />tion of critical depth with the tailwater <br />elevation. <br />If h,>h., type 2 flow occurred, If h,<h" type 3 <br />flow occurred, and the discharge may be com- <br />puted as outlined in the next section, <br /> <br />Pipe.arch sections <br />Type 2 flow in a riveted pipe-arch is com- <br />puted in exactly the same manner as for " <br />circular section by using the pipe-arch data in <br />figures 10 and 13. These curves will give ll.p- <br />proximate values applicable to multiplll.te pipe- <br />arch computations. <br /> <br />Rectangular sections <br />Computation steps: <br />1. Compute C. <br />2.
