Page 1 - observed by others, that those pipes which presented the smoothest inner surface furnished the greatest quantity of water in a given time ; or in other words, that the greatest velocity was found in the smoothest pipes. He argued
Page 110 - The coefficient of resistance or roughness (») can be found only by consulting cases where analogous physical conditions prevail, and for which its value has already been ascertained.
Page 48 - not only the mere roughness of the surface, but also the irregularities and imperfections (Schadhaftigkeit) in the bed of the channel or river.
Page 117 - v = 3.03 ft. per sec. Assume a slope (say .0001). Find its curve, and radial line n = .03. Join their intersection with R = 20, and note the value (89) of c where
