Qs = 518 x 60.96 = 31,580 metric-tons/day
Note Qs = 31,580 metric-tons/day = 31,580 x 2204.62/2000 = 34,800 tons/day

Compute the bed-material transport in metric-tons/day.
Given:
Q = 221.39 m3/sec
ν = 1.16 x 10-6 m2/s
W = 103.95 m
ω = 0.043 m/sec
y = 2.31 m
D50 = 0.32 mm
V = 0.922 m/sec
S = 0.00022 m/m
Calculate:
τo = 9800 x 2.31 x 0.00022 = 4.98 N/m2
V* = (4.98/ 1000)0.5 = 0.0706 m/s
V* D50
= 0.0706 x 0.00032 / 1.16 x 10 -6 = 19.5
