Width of Throat given Discharge Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Width of Throat = Environmental Discharge/(2.264*(Depth of Flow)^(3/2))
W_t = Q_e/(2.264*(d_f)^(3/2))
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Width of Throat - (Measured in Meter) - Width of Throat is the narrowest section of a conduit or channel, such as in a venturi meter or flume.
Environmental Discharge - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Second) - Environmental Discharge is the rate of flow of a liquid.
Depth of Flow - (Measured in Meter) - Depth of Flow is the distance from the top or surface of the flow to the bottom of a channel or other waterway or Depth of Flow at the Vertical while measuring Sound Weights.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Environmental Discharge: 39.82 Cubic Meter per Second --> 39.82 Cubic Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Depth of Flow: 3.3 Meter --> 3.3 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

W_t = Q_e/(2.264*(d_f)^(3/2)) --> 39.82/(2.264*(3.3)^(3/2))

Evaluating ... ...

W_t = 2.93395820800753

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

2.93395820800753 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

2.93395820800753 ≈ 2.933958 Meter <-- Width of Throat
