Length of Weir for Broad-Crested Weir with Velocity of Approach Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Length of Weir = Discharge Weir/(1.705*Coefficient of Discharge*((Arc Length of Circle+Head Due to Velocity of Approach)^(3/2)-Head Due to Velocity of Approach^(3/2)))
L_w = Q/(1.705*C_d*((l_a+h_a)^(3/2)-h_a^(3/2)))
This formula uses 5 Variables

Variables Used

Length of Weir - (Measured in Meter) - The Length of Weir is the of the base of weir through which discharge is taking place.
Discharge Weir - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Second) - Discharge Weir is the rate of flow of a liquid.
Coefficient of Discharge - The Coefficient of Discharge or efflux coefficient is the ratio of the actual discharge to the theoretical discharge.
Arc Length of Circle - (Measured in Meter) - Arc Length of Circle is the length of a piece of curve cut from the circumference of the Circle at particular central angle.
Head Due to Velocity of Approach - (Measured in Meter) - The Head due to Velocity of Approach is considered as the elevation difference between the two circled points on the surface of the approach flow.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Discharge Weir: 40 Cubic Meter per Second --> 40 Cubic Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Coefficient of Discharge: 0.8 --> No Conversion Required
Arc Length of Circle: 15 Meter --> 15 Meter No Conversion Required
Head Due to Velocity of Approach: 1.2 Meter --> 1.2 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

L_w = Q/(1.705*C_d*((l_a+h_a)^(3/2)-h_a^(3/2))) --> 40/(1.705*0.8*((15+1.2)^(3/2)-1.2^(3/2)))

Evaluating ... ...

L_w = 0.459005739389677

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.459005739389677 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.459005739389677 ≈ 0.459006 Meter <-- Length of Weir

What is 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.

What is velocity of approach?

The velocity of approach or separation is defined as the rate of change of relative displacement between two bodies. The velocity of approach is defined when the displacement between the bodies is decreasing and separation when the displacement between the bodies is increasing.
