Hazen-Williams Flow through an Open Channel Equation
Hazen-Williams method is only valid for water flowing at ambient temperatures, the Darcy-Weisbach method should be used for other liquids or gases. The Hazen-Williams Equation can be used for flow through an open channel or through a pressurized pipe.
Hazen-Williams flow through an open channel Equation formula
\(\large{ v = k \;C \; r_h^{0.63}\; m^{0.54} }\) |
Where:
\(\large{ v }\) = mean flow velocity
\(\large{ k }\) = conversion factor
\(\large{ C }\) = Hazen-Williams coefficient
\(\large{ m }\) = hydraulic grade line slope
\(\large{ r_h }\) = hydraulic radius
