Time Required to Empty Reservoir Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Total Time Taken = ((3*Area of Weir)/(Coefficient of Discharge*Length of Weir*sqrt(2*[g])))*(1/sqrt(Final Height of Liquid)-1/sqrt(Initial Height of Liquid))
t_a = ((3*A)/(C_d*L_w*sqrt(2*[g])))*(1/sqrt(H_f)-1/sqrt(H_i))
This formula uses 1 Constants, 1 Functions, 6 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

Total Time Taken - (Measured in Second) - Total Time Taken is the total time taken by the body to cover that space.
Area of Weir - (Measured in Square Meter) - Area of Weir is the amount of two-dimensional space taken up by an object.
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.
Final Height of Liquid - (Measured in Meter) - The Final Height of Liquid is a variable from the tank emptying through an orifice at its bottom.
Initial Height of Liquid - (Measured in Meter) - The Initial height of liquid is a variable from the tank emptying through an orifice at its bottom.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Area of Weir: 50 Square Meter --> 50 Square Meter No Conversion Required
Coefficient of Discharge: 0.8 --> No Conversion Required
Length of Weir: 25 Meter --> 25 Meter No Conversion Required
Final Height of Liquid: 0.17 Meter --> 0.17 Meter No Conversion Required
Initial Height of Liquid: 186.1 Meter --> 186.1 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

t_a = ((3*A)/(C_d*L_w*sqrt(2*[g])))*(1/sqrt(H_f)-1/sqrt(H_i)) --> ((3*50)/(0.8*25*sqrt(2*[g])))*(1/sqrt(0.17)-1/sqrt(186.1))

Evaluating ... ...

t_a = 3.98320739772983

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

3.98320739772983 Second --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

3.98320739772983 ≈ 3.983207 Second <-- Total Time Taken

(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)

What is a notch or 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.

What is rectangular notch or weir?

The rectangular weir (notch) is a common device used to regulate and measure discharge in irrigation projects. The current research was based mainly on laboratory experiments studying the hydraulic characteristics of rectangular notches.
