Determination of coefficient of discharge of a rectangular/


'

triangular notch
Aim: To study the flow over a triangular / rectangular notch and to calibrate it for the
discharge measurement for a free surface flow.
Basic concept: A weir is an obstruction placed across a free surface flow such that the
flow takes place over it The weir with a sharp edge is commonly referred to as a notch.
Generally, notches are opening cut in metallic plates and installed in flumes to measure
the discharge. The free surface flow taking place over it acquires steady state condition
such that the discharge is uniquely related to the head over the crest of the notch and its
geometry. In actual practice, the discharge over a notch is considerably less than the
theoretical discharge. This is due to real - flow effects like viscosity, end-contraction,
nappe suppression, ventilation of notches, etc. The actual discharge is obtained by
multiplying the theoretical discharge by a factor called Coefficient of Discharge, Cd
Apparatus:
1. Flume with a Triangular / Rectangular notch
2. Hook gauge
3. Collecting tank.
4. Stop watch
5. Piezometer
6. Scale.
Formulae:
The following formula is employed.

Theoretical discharge (Qth) = ~J2i tan 8 h½ (Triangular Notch)


15 2
h=head over the sill of the notch
8 = Vertex angle of the notch
g= acceleration due to gravity

Theoretical discharge (Q11,) = : J2iLh½ (Rectangular Notch)

L = length of the crest


h=head over the sill of the notch
