STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Coefficient of Discharge: 0.66 --> No Conversion Required
Acceleration due to Gravity: 9.8 Meter per Square Second --> 9.8 Meter per Square Second No Conversion Required
Theta: 30 Degree --> 0.5235987755982 Radian (Check conversion here)
Height of Water above Crest of Weir: 2 Meter --> 2 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

Q_tri = (8/15)*C_d*sqrt(2*g)*tan(θ/2)*S_w^(5/2) --> (8/15)*0.66*sqrt(2*9.8)*tan(0.5235987755982/2)*2^(5/2)

Evaluating ... ...

Q_tri = 2.36209924490175

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

2.36209924490175 Cubic Meter per Second --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

2.36209924490175 ≈ 2.362099 Cubic Meter per Second <-- Discharge through Triangular Weir

(Calculation completed in 00.020 seconds)

What is Coefficient of Discharge?

Discharge Coefficient is the ratio of actual discharge through a nozzle or orifice to the theoretical discharge.

What is triangular weir?

Triangular weirs are sharp crested thin plates with V-shaped opening (or notch). These plates are installed at the exit of a channel, tank, or basin in order to measure the real-time flow of water. A typical application for these plates consists in measuring the flow of water on the downstream side of a dam.
