Gully Control and Drop Spillways

Subtopic: Gully Control and Drop Spillways

Question Statement:

In a drop inlet pipe spillway, the pipe barrel has diameter $D = 0.5\text{ m}$ (area $A = \frac{\pi}{4}(0.5)^2 \approx 0.1963\text{ m}^2$). When flowing full under total head $H = 4.0\text{ m}$ with overall discharge coefficient $C_d = 0.65$, taking $g = 9.81\text{ m/s}^2$ the pipe discharge in $\text{m}^3/\text{s}$ is (rounded off to two decimal places):

Answer Key:

1.13

Step-by-Step Solution & Explanation

$Q = 0.65 \times 0.19635 \times 8.8589 = 1.1306\text{ m}^3/\text{s} \approx 1.13\text{ m}^3/\text{s}$.
