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 triangular notch or weir?

Triangular weirs are sharp-crested thin plates with V-shaped opening (or notch). These plates are installed at the exit of a channel, tank, or basin in order to measure the real-time flow of water.

How to Calculate Time Required to Empty Tank with Triangular Weir or Notch?

Time Required to Empty Tank with Triangular Weir or Notch calculator uses Total Time Taken = ((5*Area of Weir)/(4*Coefficient of Discharge*tan(Angle A/2)*sqrt(2*[g])))*(1/(Final Height of Liquid^(3/2))-1/(Initial Height of Liquid^(3/2))) to calculate the Total Time Taken, Time Required to Empty Tank with Triangular Weir or Notch can be understood by considering the dynamics of the flow. When the liquid flows over the triangular weir or notch, it follows a predictable pattern that can be analyzed to estimate the time it takes for the tank to empty. Total Time Taken is denoted by t_a symbol.
