Discharge Coefficient given Discharge through Critical Depth Flume Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Coefficient of Discharge = Discharge of Channel/(Width of Throat*(Depth of Flow^1.5))
C_d = Q/(W_t*(d_f^1.5))
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Coefficient of Discharge - The Coefficient of Discharge is ratio of actual discharge to theoretical discharge.
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.
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.

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
Depth of Flow: 3.3 Meter --> 3.3 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

C_d = Q/(W_t*(d_f^1.5)) --> 14/(3.5*(3.3^1.5))

Evaluating ... ...

C_d = 0.667250766743249

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.667250766743249 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.667250766743249 ≈ 0.667251 <-- Coefficient of Discharge

Discharge Coefficient given Discharge through Critical Depth Flume Formula

LaTeX Go

Coefficient of Discharge = Discharge of Channel/(Width of Throat*(Depth of Flow^1.5))
C_d = Q/(W_t*(d_f^1.5))

What is Depth of Flow?

Normal depth is the depth of flow in a channel or culvert when the slope of the water surface and channel bottom is the same and the water depth remains constant. Note: Flow at normal depth in culverts often presents the highest average velocities and shallowest depths at that flow.
