Head of Liquid at Crest Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Head of Liquid = (Theoretical Discharge/(2/3*Coefficient of Discharge*Length of Weir*sqrt(2*[g])))^(2/3)
H = (Q_th/(2/3*C_d*L_w*sqrt(2*[g])))^(2/3)
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

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.
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.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Theoretical Discharge: 90 Cubic Meter per Second --> 90 Cubic Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Coefficient of Discharge: 0.8 --> No Conversion Required
Length of Weir: 25 Meter --> 25 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

H = (Q_th/(2/3*C_d*L_w*sqrt(2*[g])))^(2/3) --> (90/(2/3*0.8*25*sqrt(2*[g])))^(2/3)

Evaluating ... ...

H = 1.3243993475815

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

1.3243993475815 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

1.3243993475815 ≈ 1.324399 Meter <-- Head of Liquid

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 the difference between notch and weir?

A notch is generally meant to measure the flow of water from a tank. A weir is also a notch but it is made on a large scale. The weir is a notch cut in a dam to discharge the surplus quantity of water. A notch is usually made of metal plate whereas a weir is made of masonry or concrete.
