Problem 4:
Water flow rate in an open channel is measured using a right angled V notch. The
head of water over V notch is 0.15 m. Assuming the coefficient of discharge of the
notch as 0.65, calculate the discharge in the channel. Ans: Q= 0.0134 m³/ sec.
7.5 m
-2.0 m
6.0 m
h
where b = weir width (m) 2
g = gravitational acceleration (m/s)
h = height of water above the weir edge (m)
2.0 m
1.0 m wide weir
water flows
out through
this opening
The surge tank pictured (shown with clear sides for illustration purposes)
is used to even out variable flows. During periods of high flow, excess
water is diverted to the surge tank where it flows out more slowly over
the weir. The volumetric flow over the weir is
V = 0.011 * b* g¹/2h³/2
Assuming no excess flow is currently being diverted to the surge tank,
determine the time required for the water level in the tank to become 6.25
m if the initial height is 7.5 m
An irrigation channel of trapezoidal section, having side slopes 3
horizontal to 2 vertical, is to carry flow of 10 cumec on a longitudinal
slope of 1 in 5000. The channel is to be lined for which the value of
friction coefficient in Manning's formula is n = 0.012. Find the dimensions
of the most economic section of the channel.
