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.
A suppressed weir is under a head of 1.65m. The weir is 2.5m long and has a height of 4.5m. What is the flow rate in ?3/? of water over the weir?
Compute the wetted perimeter and hydraulic radil for a conduit with a cross sectional area of 10 square feet if the section is (a) circular flowing full and (b) semi-circular open channel.
