Head over Spillway when Outflow is Considered Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Head over Weir = (Reservoir Discharge/((2/3)*Coefficient of Discharge*sqrt(2*Acceleration due to Gravity)*(Effective Length of the Spillway Crest/2)))^(1/(3))
H = (Qh/((2/3)*C_d*sqrt(2*g)*(L_e/2)))^(1/(3))
This formula uses 1 Functions, 5 Variables

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 over Weir - (Measured in Meter) - Head over Weir is the stream or river to raise the water level or divert its flow.
Reservoir Discharge - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Second) - Reservoir Discharge is the uncontrolled spillway discharge.
Coefficient of Discharge - Coefficient of Discharge is ratio of actual discharge to theoretical discharge.
Acceleration due to Gravity - (Measured in Meter per Square Second) - Acceleration due to Gravity is acceleration gained by an object because of gravitational force.
Effective Length of the Spillway Crest - (Measured in Meter) - Effective Length of the Spillway Crest is the length used for the discharge passing over a spillway.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Reservoir Discharge: 131.4 Cubic Meter per Second --> 131.4 Cubic Meter per Second No Conversion Required
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
Effective Length of the Spillway Crest: 5 Meter --> 5 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

H = (Qh/((2/3)*C_d*sqrt(2*g)*(L_e/2)))^(1/(3)) --> (131.4/((2/3)*0.66*sqrt(2*9.8)*(5/2)))^(1/(3))

Evaluating ... ...

H = 2.99933435098265

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

2.99933435098265 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

2.99933435098265 ≈ 2.999334 Meter <-- Head over Weir
