    The document discusses specific energy, which is the total energy of a flowing fluid per unit weight. It defines specific energy (Es) as the height (z) plus the depth (h) plus kinetic energy per unit weight. It shows that for critical depth, where specific energy is at a minimum, the specific energy equals the critical depth (hc) plus kinetic energy per unit weight based on critical velocity. It also derives an expression for critical depth (hc) in terms of discharge (Q) and gravitational acceleration (g).
