Question:hard

Given below are two statements: Statement (I): The Parshall flume consists of three parts, namely, a converging section on the upstream end, a constricted section known as throat and a diverging section on the downstream side. Statement (II): The floor of the converging section is level, the floor of the throat inclines upward and the floor of the diverging section slopes downward. In light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

Show Hint

Remember the vertical floor profile of a Parshall flume:
Converging = Level; Throat = Slopes Downward; Diverging = Slopes Upward.
This profile accelerates the flow through the throat to establish critical flow.
  • Both Statement (I) and Statement (II) are correct.
  • Both Statement (I) and Statement (II) are incorrect.
  • Statement (I) is correct but Statement (II) is incorrect.
