Width of Throat given Maximum Discharge Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Width of Throat = (Peak Discharge/(Critical Depth*Critical Velocity))
W_t = (Q_p/(d_c*V_c))
This formula uses 4 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.
Peak Discharge - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Second) - Peak Discharge is the maximum volume flow rate passing a particular location during an event.
Critical Depth - (Measured in Meter) - Critical Depth occurs when the flow in a channel has a minimum specific energy. Specific energy refers to the sum of the depth of flow and the velocity head.
Critical Velocity - (Measured in Meter per Second) - The Critical velocity is the greatest velocity with which a fluid can flow through a given conduit without becoming turbulent.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Peak Discharge: 39.77 Cubic Meter per Second --> 39.77 Cubic Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Critical Depth: 2.62 Meter --> 2.62 Meter No Conversion Required
Critical Velocity: 5.06 Meter per Second --> 5.06 Meter per Second No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

W_t = (Q_p/(d_c*V_c)) --> (39.77/(2.62*5.06))

Evaluating ... ...

W_t = 2.99987931086504

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

2.99987931086504 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

2.99987931086504 ≈ 2.999879 Meter <-- Width of Throat

What is Discharge?

The amount of fluid passing a section of a stream in unit time is called the discharge. If v is the mean velocity and A is the cross sectional area, the discharge Q is defined by Q = Av which is known as volume flow rate. Discharge is also expressed as mass flow rate and weight flow rate.

How to Calculate Width of Throat given Maximum Discharge?
