Section 5: Irrigation and Drainage Engineering

Water Measurement Flumes

Subtopic: V-Notch Weirs

Question Statement:

The discharge over a $90^\circ$ triangular V-notch weir is given by $Q = \frac{8}{15} C_d \sqrt{2g} H^{5/2}$. For $C_d = 0.60$ and $g = 9.81\text{ m/s}^2$ If the head over the notch is $H = 0.20\text{ m}$ (so $0.20^{2.5} \approx 0.01789$), the discharge $Q$ in L/s is:

Answer Key:

25.3

Step-by-Step Solution & Explanation

$Q = 1.417 \times 0.01789\text{ m}^3/\text{s} = 0.02535\text{ m}^3/\text{s} = 25.35\text{ L/s}$.
