RECTANGULAR WEIR
PROBLEMS:
1. A cylindrical tank contains three liquids of specific
Francis Formula
gravities, 0.8, 1.0, and 1.5. Each liquid has a
thickness of 0.6 m and the tank is 1.2 m in diameter.
C w= 1.84
If a circular orifice 100 mm in diameter and with C =
0.650 drains the liquid, determine the time to:
’
a) Remove the first liquid For contracted sections, replace L by L
b) Remove the second liquid ’
c) To drain the tank completely L = L – 0.1H for singly contracted
’
L = L – 0.2H for doubly contracted
2. The tank shown has the form of a frustum of a
cone. How long will it take to empty the tank from
full capacity? Orifice diameter is 0.1 m ( C = 0.6)
1. During a test on a 2.4- suppressed weir 900 mm If C is not specified, use the Manning’s C in the

In 38 seconds, 28,800 liters of water were collected. Chezy-Manning formula for V:
What is the weir factor C ?

F = ρQv
F = force caused by water
ρ = mass density of liquid
Q = discharge
v = velocity
For moving plates, use relative velocity
