    The specific energy is defined as the energy per unit weight relative to the bottom of the channel. Several formulas are presented for calculating flow characteristics like velocity and discharge in open channels, including the Chezy formula, Kutter and Ganguillet formula, Manning formula, Bazin formula, and Powell equation. The boundary shear stress is also defined. The document discusses the most efficient rectangular channel section.

    Boundary Shear Stress

    = RS

    where is the unit weight of the liquid, R is the hydraulic radius, S is the slope of the EGL, and for
    uniform flow or for S<1/10 ( <5.7), S=So.
