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.
