For the Cipolletti weir, derive the slope (1/4:1) of the sides of the trapezoid
What is the method to derive the slope of the sides of the trapezoid for the Cipolletti weir?
Calculation:
To determine the discharge observed at a v-notch weir, we use the following formula: Q = 4.28Ctan(∅/2) (h + k)^5/2 Where: Q = Discharge C = Discharge coefficient ∅ = Notch angle (in degrees) h = Head above the weir k = Head correction factor We substitute the given values into the formula: Q = 4.28 × 1 × tan(90/2) (3)^5/2 Q = 4.28 × 1 × 1 × 15.5884 Q = 66.7 in³/s Therefore, the discharge observed at a v-notch weir with the given conditions is 66.7 in³/s.
