4. The discharge from a 150 mm diameter orifice under a head of 3.05m and coefficient
of discharge, C = 0.60 flows into a rectangular channel and over a rectangular
suppressed weir. The channel is 1.83m wide and the weir has height, P = 1,50m and
length, L = 0.31m. Determine the depth of water in the channel. Use Francis formula
and neglect velocity of approach.
Problem 4:
Water flow rate in an open channel is measured using a right angled V notch. The
head of water over V notch is 0.15 m. Assuming the coefficient of discharge of the
notch as 0.65, calculate the discharge in the channel. Ans: Q= 0.0134 m³/ sec.
