Hydraulics (Ce 47) : Determination of The Coefficient of Discharge in A Triangular Weir

The document describes an experiment to determine the coefficient of discharge in a triangular weir. It lists the group members and materials used, which include a flume, receiving tank, triangular weir, stopwatch and straight edge. Tabulated data from three trials show the head, volume, time and calculated discharge and discharge coefficient. Computations are shown to solve for the theoretical discharge and coefficient using the triangular weir equation. Results of the three trials for the discharge coefficient are reported.

Tabulated Data and Results:

Trial Head Volume Time Discharge CD


(m) (m3) (sec) (m3/s)
1 21.5 8.7*10-4 1.96 4.39*10-4 1.46*10-7
2 23 1.3*10-3 1.32 9.85*10-4 2.78*10-7
3 27.5 4.34*10-3 1.5 2.89*10-3 5.21*10-7

Results:

CD1= 1.46*10-7

CD2= 2.78*10-7

CD3= 5.21*10-7

COMPUTATION:

Theoretical Discharge for Triangular Weir Solution

1st Step: Find the ϴ

Altitude = 11.4cm

(Length of the weir/2) = 6.75cm


6.75
ϴ = 2[tan-1(11.4)]

ϴ = 61.26 degrees

2nd Step: Solve For C


8
Q = 15(C) √2𝑔 tan ϴ/2 H5/2

Trial 1:
8
4.39*10-4= 15(C) √2 ∗ 9.81 tan 61.26/2 (21.5)5/2

C1= 1.46*10-7

2|Page
Trial 2:
8
9.85*10-4= 15(C) √2 ∗ 9.81 tan 61.26/2 (23)5/2

C2= 2.78*10-7

Trial 3:
8
2.89*10-3= 15(C) √2 ∗ 9.81 tan 61.26/2 (27.5)5/2

C3= 5.21*10-7
