This formula uses 1 Constants, 1 Functions, 4 Variables

Constants Used

[g] - Gravitational acceleration on Earth Value Taken As 9.80665

Functions Used

sqrt - A square root function is a function that takes a non-negative number as an input and returns the square root of the given input number., sqrt(Number)

Variables Used

Theoretical Discharge - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Second) - The Theoretical Discharge is given by the theoretical area and velocity.
Coefficient of Discharge - The Coefficient of Discharge or efflux coefficient is the ratio of the actual discharge to the theoretical discharge.
Length of Weir - (Measured in Meter) - The Length of Weir is the of the base of weir through which discharge is taking place.
Head of Liquid - (Measured in Meter) - The Head of Liquid is the height of a liquid column that corresponds to a particular pressure exerted by the liquid column from the base of its container.

What is a notch?

A Notch is a device used for measuring the rate of flow of a liquid through a small channel or a tank. It may be defined as an opening in the side of a tank or vessel such as liquid surface in the tank is below the level of opening.

What is a weir?

A weir is a concrete or masonry structure that is constructed across the open channel (such as a river) to change its water flow characteristics.
