EXPERIMENT # 2: 90⁰ V-NOTCH WEIR

Objective:
-To find the coefficient of discharge through a 90⁰ triangular notch
-To seek the relation between discharge and water head for weirs of 90-degrees.
Apparatus: (The Synthetic Hydro-Experimental Machine)

1: pump
2,3: sluice valves
4: hook gauge
5: triangular weir of 90- degree
6: waterway
7: main tank
8: cock

Other Equipments needed:


1. Open channel stream
2. 90⁰ triangular notch (V-notch)
3. A constant water supply with a regulating valve to change discharge of
water.
4. Hook gauge to measure water level head.
5. Stopwatch
Procedure:
1. Check the tank if there are any leakages.
2. As water flows in the channel, measure the water head using the hook
gauge once the water has stabilized. Adjust the hook gauge to zero scale
before measuring water head.
3. At a steady flow rate, measure the head “H” of the water level by adjusting
the hook gauge and recording the reading.
4. Continue the process by measuring and recording different heads by
opening the valves and letting more water flow in.
Relative Equations:
a) Coefficient of Discharge

K = 81.2 + 0.24/H + [8.4 + (12/ D1/2 )] [ ( H/B ) – 0.09 ]2

where: H= Water head


D= Depth from the bottom of the waterway to the notch of the weir
B= Width of the waterway, 0.6m
b) Discharge

Q = KH5/2
where: K = coefficient of discharge
H = Water Head

Arrangement of Experimental Result


Create a graph of the relation between discharge and water head. Compare
between K given by the above equation and K given by the relation between
discharge and water head.
