If D is the depth of water upstream of the throat above its sill, B is the width of the throat, to achieve critical flow in an open venturi flume, the theoretical maximum flow Q, is A. Q = 1.71 $${\text{B}}{{\text{D}}^{\frac{1}{2}}}$$ B. Q = 1.71 BD C. Q = 1.71 $${\text{B}}{{\text{D}}^{\frac{3}{2}}}$$ D. Q = 1.71 $${\text{B}}{{\text{D}}^{\frac{2}{3}}}$$

Q = 1.71 $${ ext{B}}{{ ext{D}}^{rac{1}{2}}}$$
Q = 1.71 BD
Q = 1.71 $${ ext{B}}{{ ext{D}}^{rac{3}{2}}}$$
Q = 1.71 $${ ext{B}}{{ ext{D}}^{rac{2}{3}}}$$

The correct answer is: A. Q = 1.71 $${\text{B}}{{\text{D}}^{\frac{1}{2}}}$$

The theoretical maximum flow Q in an open venturi flume is given by the following equation:

$$Q = 1.71 \sqrt{\frac{B}{D}}$$

where B is the width of the throat and D is the depth of water upstream of the throat above its sill.

Option B is incorrect because it does not include the
