Hydraulic Weir Calculations

1. The height of the rectangular notch was calculated to be 1.4717 m based on the given maximum upstream depth of 1.8 m, discharge of 2000 lps, and neglecting end effects with a discharge coefficient of 0.6. 2. The depth of water over the rectangular weir was calculated to be 0.1417 m, given that the triangular weir first had a depth of 0.36 m with coefficients of 0.6 and 0.7, respectively. 3. By plotting the log of discharge vs the log of head for experimental data and determining the intercept, the notch angle was calculated to be 72.94 degrees using the discharge equation with a coefficient of 0.

1.

Determine the height of a rectangular notch of length 6 m to be built across a rectangular


channel. The maximum depth of water on the upstream side of the weir is 1.8m and
discharge is 2000 lps. Take Cd = 0.6 and neglect end effects.

2. Water flows through a triangular right-angle weir first and then over a rectangular weir
of 1m width. The discharge coefficients of the triangular and rectangular weirs are 0.6
and 0.7 respectively. If the depth of water over the triangular weir is 36 cm, find the
depth of water over the rectangular weir.

Let us first consider triangular notch.

3. In a triangular notch the discharge through the notch was measured for different heads
and the following readings were obtained Assuming that the cd=0.6. Find the notch
angle.
