Hydraulic jump can be used for
- Aincreasing the depth of flow
- Breducing the energy of flowCorrect
- Cdecreasing the velocity of flow
- Dreducing turbulence
Solution
Concept
Energy dissipation
Step-by-step solution
1. A jump dissipates energy.
Explanation
Used in stilling basins.
Why the other options are wrong
It increases turbulence, not reduces it.
Shortcut
Jump = energy dissipator.
Correct answer: B) reducing the energy of flow
