Flow Through Triangular Notch

This document describes how to calibrate a triangular notch and determine its coefficient of discharge (Cd). The discharge (Q) through a V-notch can be calculated as Q = 8/15 Cd √2g tan θ/2 H5/2, where H is the head of water over the sill. By measuring H at different flow rates and plotting log Q vs log H, the exponent n can be determined. The slope of the line is n, and the y-intercept is log K. This calibration allows the notch discharge to be expressed as an equation of the form Q = KHn, which is specific to that notch.

FLOW THROUGH TRIANGULAR NOTCH

AIM: - To calibrate to given notch and to determine its co-efficient of discharge Cd of 600 or 900
notches.
Instruments:
1. Notch Apparatus
2. Piezometer or point Gauge
3. Stop watch & Scale
Theory:- The discharge through V-notch is given by.

Q = KH 5/2

Q

we have
k= 8/15Cd 2g tan /2

Cd

15 K
8 2 g tan / 2

For 900 notch tan Q/2 = tan 90/2 =tan 450 =1

Cd

8 2g

So
we have Q= 8/15 Cd 2g tan /2 H5/2

8 2 g tan / 2 H 5 / 2
To get discharge equation for a given notch Q = K.Hn
By taking logarithm on both side
Log K Log K
Log Q
Log H
-----------doubt
Putting group of log Q vs log H
From equation if H=0 (means no flow takes place just at a level)
Then log Q =log K
Q = K.Hn
log Q = log K+ log Hn

Log Q Log K
Log H

If By
Graph

H=o
log Q = log K
K = Antilog of log K
Example = if K = 9.78
n = 2.53
Then
Q = 9.78H2.53
This is notch equation for given notch
