Explanation:

For a circular section (a section which is converging on the top), hydraulic efficiency depends upon:

i) Maximum Velocity

For maximum velocity case, R = 0.30 × d and y = 0.81 × d

ii) Maximum discharge

For maximum discharge case, R = 0.29 × d and y = 0.95 × d

Where

d = diameter of the circular pipe

y = hydraulic depth

R = hydraulic radius
