Abstract
A complete integration of the equation of nonuniform flow would appear to be highly desirable, as an integration method makes it possible to analyze quickly problems that the average engineer avoids because of the mass of tedious computations that would be required by other methods. This paper presents a complete and simple integration method adapted to all types of cross sections ordinarily encountered in practice. The hydraulic exponent, n, which was introduced by Boris A. Bakhmeteff, Hon. M. ASCE, is used in this presentation exactly as it is used by him. In addition, however, a secondary exponent, m, is employed to set up the equation of nonuniform flow in such form that it can be completely evaluated by integration. Also presented is a novel and time saving method of computing the exponents, n and m.
