Length of Crest over Broad Crested Weir for Max Discharge Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Length of Weir Crest = Max Discharge Over Broad Crested Weir/(1.70*Coefficient of Discharge*(Total Head)^(3/2))
L_w = Q_W(max)/(1.70*C_d*(H)^(3/2))
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Length of Weir Crest - (Measured in Meter) - Length of Weir Crest is the measurement or extent of Weir Crest from end to end.
Max Discharge Over Broad Crested Weir - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Second) - Max Discharge Over Broad Crested Weir is max discharge of the quantity of any fluid flow over unit time. The quantity may be either volume or mass.
Coefficient of Discharge - The Coefficient of Discharge is ratio of actual discharge to theoretical discharge.
Total Head - (Measured in Meter) - Total Head is the combination of weir crested and additional head.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Max Discharge Over Broad Crested Weir: 37.6 Cubic Meter per Second --> 37.6 Cubic Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Coefficient of Discharge: 0.66 --> No Conversion Required
Total Head: 5 Meter --> 5 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

L_w = Q_W(max)/(1.70*C_d*(H)^(3/2)) --> 37.6/(1.70*0.66*(5)^(3/2))

Evaluating ... ...

L_w = 2.99736741368956

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

2.99736741368956 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

2.99736741368956 ≈ 2.997367 Meter <-- Length of Weir Crest

Discharge over Broad Crested Weir

LaTeX Go Discharge Over Broad Crested Weir = Length of Weir Crest*Critical Depth of Weir*sqrt((2*[g])*(Total Head-Critical Depth of Weir))

Velocity of Flow given Head

LaTeX Go Velocity of Fluid for Weir = sqrt((2*Acceleration due to Gravity)*(Total Head-Critical Depth of Weir))

Critical Depth due to Reduction in Area of Flow Section given Total Head

LaTeX Go Critical Depth of Weir = Total Head-(Velocity of Fluid for Weir^2/(2*Acceleration due to Gravity))

Total Head above Weir Crest

LaTeX Go Total Head = Critical Depth of Weir+(Velocity of Fluid for Weir^2/(2*Acceleration due to Gravity))

Length of Crest over Broad Crested Weir for Max Discharge Formula

LaTeX Go

Length of Weir Crest = Max Discharge Over Broad Crested Weir/(1.70*Coefficient of Discharge*(Total Head)^(3/2))
L_w = Q_W(max)/(1.70*C_d*(H)^(3/2))

What does Length of Crest mean?

Length of Crest over Broad Crested Weir as it applies to the area of reclamation can be defined as ' The distance, measured along the axis.

What is a broad crested weir?

Broad crested weirs are robust structures that are generally constructed from reinforced concrete and which usually span the full width of the channel. They are used to measure the discharge of rivers, and are much more suited for this purpose than the relatively flimsy sharp crested weirs. The broad crested weir is one which the water flow discharge in measured from large water bodies like big canals while the sharp crested weir will help in measuring the discharge of the water from the small rivers and canals and the weir is placed in the direction of the flow of water.
