Weir (Examples)

The document contains 5 examples of calculating discharge rates for various weir configurations using weir equations. Example 1 calculates the depth of water in a channel using a rectangular weir. Example 2 determines the maximum head of water for a V-notch weir given a flow range and vertex angle. Example 3 estimates the flow rate for a broad-crested weir given the upstream depth. Example 4 calculates the discharge for a submerged weir using free and submerged discharge coefficients. Example 5 asks for the equation for a compound (stepped rectangular) weir.

HW3 // Water flows at a rate of 5 m3/sec in a rectangular channel of width 10m. the normal
depth of flow in channel is 5m. if a sharp-crest weir of height 5m is installed across the channel,
determine the new flow depth in the channel for the same flowrate? cd = 0.6
