Depth of Flow given Discharge through Critical Depth Flume Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Depth of Flow = (Discharge of Channel/(Width of Throat*Coefficient of Discharge))^(2/3)
d_f = (Q/(W_t*C_d))^(2/3)
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Depth of Flow - (Measured in Meter) - Depth of Flow is the distance from the top or surface of the flow to the bottom of a channel or other waterway or Depth of Flow at the Vertical while measuring Sound Weights.
Discharge of Channel - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Second) - Discharge of Channel is the rate of flow of a liquid.
Width of Throat - (Measured in Meter) - Width of Throat of the parshall flume is denoted by W symbol.
Coefficient of Discharge - The Coefficient of Discharge is ratio of actual discharge to theoretical discharge.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Discharge of Channel: 14 Cubic Meter per Second --> 14 Cubic Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Width of Throat: 3.5 Meter --> 3.5 Meter No Conversion Required
Coefficient of Discharge: 0.66 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

d_f = (Q/(W_t*C_d))^(2/3) --> (14/(3.5*0.66))^(2/3)

Evaluating ... ...

d_f = 3.3241251832925

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

3.3241251832925 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

3.3241251832925 ≈ 3.324125 Meter <-- Depth of Flow

Coefficient of Discharge through Flume given Discharge Flow through Channel

LaTeX Go Coefficient of Discharge = (Discharge of Channel/(Cross Section Area 1*Cross Section Area 2)*(sqrt(((Cross Section Area 1^2)-(Cross Section Area 2^2))/(2*[g]*(Loss of Head at Entrance-Loss of Head at Exit)))))

Discharge Flow through Channel

LaTeX Go Discharge of Channel = (Coefficient of Discharge*Cross Section Area 1*Cross Section Area 2)*(sqrt(2*[g]*(Loss of Head at Entrance-Loss of Head at Exit)/((Cross Section Area 1^2)-(Cross Section Area 2^2))))

Head at Entrance of Section given Discharge Flow through Channel

LaTeX Go Loss of Head at Exit = Loss of Head at Entrance-(Discharge of Channel/(Coefficient of Discharge*Cross Section Area 1*Cross Section Area 2*(sqrt(2*[g]/(Cross Section Area 1^2-Cross Section Area 2^2)))))^2

Head at Entrance given Discharge through Channel

LaTeX Go Loss of Head at Entrance = (Discharge of Channel/(Coefficient of Discharge*Cross Section Area 1*Cross Section Area 2*(sqrt(2*[g]/(Cross Section Area 1^2-Cross Section Area 2^2)))))^2+Loss of Head at Exit

Depth of Flow given Discharge through Critical Depth Flume Formula

LaTeX Go

Depth of Flow = (Discharge of Channel/(Width of Throat*Coefficient of Discharge))^(2/3)
