For a given cross-sectional area and slope, the most efficient or best economic section for an open channel flow is generally a trapezoidal section (or semi-circular if unrestricted, but among standard practical cross-sections, trapezoidal is the best polygonal section). Considering standard fluid mechanics nomenclature for open channels, the most efficient open channel section of a given shape is:
- 1Trapezoidal✓
- 2Rectangular
- 3Triangular
- 4Semi-circle
Correct answer
Trapezoidal
