Procedure:
1) The flow rate was adjusted and the tailgate elevation set so that a stable acceptable
hydraulic jump occurs midway through the channel.
2) Using a stopwatch, the time taken for the needle on the gauge of the hydraulic jump
machine to make three revolutions was recorded for each trial of the experiment. Eachrevolution of the gauge represents 100 litres of water. This data is used to calculate the
discharge, Q.
3) The depth of flow in front, behind the hydraulic jump was measured.
4) Using a meter rule, the length of the hydraulic jump was measured.
5) The steps were repeated for the other three discharge values.

Discussion:
The graph of Energy dissipation, E vs Froude number upstream, Fr1 shows an
exponential relationship between the two. The trend is that as Froude number upstream
increases, energy loss increases but at a non linear rate. Each consecutive trial number for the
experiment the flow rate was set to a higher value than it was before. The theory suggests thatboth the Froude number and specific energy are functions of velocity of the stream hence the
rate of discharge, Q as can be seen in there equations Fr and Specific E. And Q. Therefore,
increased velocities caused both the Froude number and the specific energy to increase. With
an increase in Froude number upstream, there was more energy dissipated as the hydraulic
jumps got more energetic, that is, an increase in specific energy upstream. From the graph this
is clearly illustrated. The graph also shows that the energy loss, E of the hydraulic jump is a
very low value for the first trial of the experiment with and approximate value of 0.001m. The
energy dissipation in percentage (%) is 0.373%. This small energy loss corresponds to an
upstream Froude number of approximately 4.7. The rate of flow for the first trial, that is, the
velocity of the stream was relatively low compared to the other trials. From this trend it can be
stated based on the graph that as the Froude number upstream falls below 4.7, the energy
dissipation tends to 0 (a negligible value). This is where the experimental results do not coincide
with the theoretical values. The classification of the hydraulic jump for this first run is a steady
jump. The other three jumps are classified as strong. For a steady hydraulic jump, the energy
dissipation theoretically supposed to range between 45-70%. The highest energy dissipation
that was computed was for the 4th trial with a value of only 14.9%.
The graph shows that the hydraulic jump is a very effective dissipater of energy as
the Froude number upstream is high. This can be a very effective means of reducing unwanted
energy in streams. If water from a steep spillway is fed into a channel, severe scouring of the
bed may occur if rapid flow is allowed to continue. Hence, an application of hydraulic jumps is to
dissipate much of the surplus energy and allow the stream to be safely discharge as tranquil
flow. Energy can be dissipated as sound or heat and therefore, after the hydraulic jump, the
water downstream may have a temperature higher than the one upstream.
The length of the hydraulic jump is the horizontal distance between the front of the
jump and the point just downstream of the last roller. The graph of Length of hydraulic jump vs
Upstream Froude number showed that there was a linear increase of the jump length as the
upstream Froude number increased. Theoretically the increased velocity would cause the
Froude number to increase making the flow more critical. This would affect the distance the
water would travel since velocity is a function of displacement. This can be observed from the
graph hence the experimental data supports the theory. The length of the hydraulic jump isusually in the order of 5 times its height. For this graph, the second, third point and fourth point
showed great deviation from the line of best fit than the first point. This can be considered
erroneous. This can be due to various sources of errors such as parallax error, poor human
averaging of the measurement of the last roller of a hydraulic jump or good sense of where the
jump actually begins in the channel for a specified flow rate needed for the determination of the
length of the hydraulic jump. There is also increased difficulty in measuring the start and end of
the hydraulic jump for the other three trials due to the addition of the problem of increased
turbulence and eddies. Human error can play a significant role in this case.
For this experiment, the following assumptions must be made in order to reduce
other potential errors and misconceptions:

1) The bed of the stream is horizontal so that the component of weight in the direction of
flow may be neglected in calculations.
2) The rectangular cross section is uniform, that is, the width hydraulic jump is constant.
3) The velocities of each of the cross section (upstream, downstream of the hydraulic jump)
are uniform and are used without significant error.
4) The depth is uniform across the width.
There were problems in obtaining the hydraulic jump at the centre of the channel
since slight adjustments of the flow rate would cause the jump to move to the end of the channel
but careful alterations of the conditions created hydraulic jumps which was generally produced
in the middle of the channel. The position at which the hydraulic jump occurs is dependent on if
the momentum relation is satisfied. The value of the depth downstream is determined by the
conditions downstream of the jump and the rapid flow continues until the depth upstream has
reached the value which fits the equation 10.25. The turbulence in a jump may be sufficient to
induce large quantities of air into the liquid and as a result the depth immediately after the jump
may be greater than that predicted by equation 10.25. The delta E equation tells that a hydraulic
jump is possible only from rapid to tranquil flow and not vice versa. Factors that affect the
stability of the jumps are flow rate, friction at the boundaries of the channel and position of the
sluice gate.
Hydraulic jumps are applied to dissipate energy in water flowing over dams, weirs
and other hydraulic structures and prevent scouring downstream from the structure. To recover
and raise the water level on the downstream side of a measuring flume and maintain high water
level in the side of a measuring flume thus maintaining high water level in a channel for irrigation
and other water distribution methods. To increase discharge of a sluice gate by holding back
tailwater since the effective head will be reduced if the tailwater is allowed to drown the jump. To
indicate special flow conditions, such as the existence of supercritical flow or the presence of a
control section on that a gaging station may be located. To mix two chemicals together or to mix
chemicals for water purification. to aerate water for city supplies and to remove air pockets from
water that goes into supply lines thus preventing air locking.
Some other sources of errors include parallax error when reading flow gauge and vernier
scale, the flow may not have been fully stabilized when the reading were taken, inserting the
depth gauge into the channel may have affected the position of the hydraulic jump, reaction time
error when obtaining time for flow, it was assumed that the density of the water was 997kg/m^3
although the water wasnt pure since it was brown indicating that it contained other substances
which may cause errors in the experiment such as different values of momentum and energyreadings, additional energy losses due to friction.
Conclusion:
Within the limits of the experimental errors it was found that the experimental approach
to the h.j. phenomenon was not without errors and difficulties, inclusive of stabilizing the jump
ina fixed fume length, the method of obtaining the jump parameters and not being able to
account for the add. Energy losses, however was comparable to theoritical calcs. It was obs.
That the depth decrease upstream and the froude number increased and more energy was
dissipated.
