Coefficient of Discharge given Discharge of Weir if Critical Depth is Constant Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Coefficient of Discharge = Discharge Over Broad Crested Weir/(1.70*Length of Weir Crest*(Total Head)^(3/2))
C_d = Q_w/(1.70*L_w*(H)^(3/2))
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Coefficient of Discharge - The Coefficient of Discharge is ratio of actual discharge to theoretical discharge.
Discharge Over Broad Crested Weir - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Second) - Discharge Over Broad Crested Weir is a measure of the quantity of any fluid flow over unit time. The quantity may be either volume or mass.
Length of Weir Crest - (Measured in Meter) - Length of Weir Crest is the measurement or extent of Weir Crest from end to end.
Total Head - (Measured in Meter) - Total Head is the combination of weir crested and additional head.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Discharge Over Broad Crested Weir: 26.6 Cubic Meter per Second --> 26.6 Cubic Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Length of Weir Crest: 3 Meter --> 3 Meter No Conversion Required
Total Head: 5 Meter --> 5 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

C_d = Q_w/(1.70*L_w*(H)^(3/2)) --> 26.6/(1.70*3*(5)^(3/2))

Evaluating ... ...

C_d = 0.466505162364662

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.466505162364662 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.466505162364662 ≈ 0.466505 <-- Coefficient of Discharge

Discharge over Broad Crested Weir

LaTeX Go Discharge Over Broad Crested Weir = Length of Weir Crest*Critical Depth of Weir*sqrt((2*[g])*(Total Head-Critical Depth of Weir))

Velocity of Flow given Head

LaTeX Go Velocity of Fluid for Weir = sqrt((2*Acceleration due to Gravity)*(Total Head-Critical Depth of Weir))

Critical Depth due to Reduction in Area of Flow Section given Total Head

LaTeX Go Critical Depth of Weir = Total Head-(Velocity of Fluid for Weir^2/(2*Acceleration due to Gravity))

Total Head above Weir Crest

LaTeX Go Total Head = Critical Depth of Weir+(Velocity of Fluid for Weir^2/(2*Acceleration due to Gravity))

Coefficient of Discharge given Discharge of Weir if Critical Depth is Constant Formula

LaTeX Go

Coefficient of Discharge = Discharge Over Broad Crested Weir/(1.70*Length of Weir Crest*(Total Head)^(3/2))
C_d = Q_w/(1.70*L_w*(H)^(3/2))

What does Discharge mean?

A discharge is a measure of the quantity of any fluid flow over unit time. The quantity may be either volume or mass.

What is a Weir?

A weir or low head dam is a barrier across the width of a river that alters the flow characteristics of water and usually results in a change in the height of the river level. They are also used to control the flow of water for outlets of lakes, ponds, and reservoirs.
