Total Head given Discharge over Weir Crest Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary
Formula Used
Total Head = ((Discharge Over Broad Crested Weir/(Length of Weir Crest*Critical Depth of Weir))^2)*(1/(2*[g]))+Critical Depth of Weir
H = ((Qw/(Lw*hc))^2)*(1/(2*[g]))+hc
This formula uses 1 Constants, 4 Variables
Constants Used
[g] - Gravitational acceleration on Earth Value Taken As 9.80665
Variables Used
Total Head - (Measured in Meter) - Total Head is the combination of weir crested and additional head.
Discharge Over Broad Crested Weir - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Second) - Discharge Over Broad Crested Weir is a measure of the quantity of any fluid flow over unit time. The quantity may be either volume or mass.
Length of Weir Crest - (Measured in Meter) - Length of Weir Crest is the measurement or extent of Weir Crest from end to end.
Critical Depth of Weir - (Measured in Meter) - The Critical Depth of Weir is defined as the depth of flow where energy is at a minimum for a particular discharge.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Discharge Over Broad Crested Weir: 26.6 Cubic Meter per Second --> 26.6 Cubic Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Length of Weir Crest: 3 Meter --> 3 Meter No Conversion Required
Critical Depth of Weir: 1.001 Meter --> 1.001 Meter No Conversion Required
STEP 2: Evaluate Formula
Substituting Input Values in Formula
H = ((Qw/(Lw*hc))^2)*(1/(2*[g]))+hc --> ((26.6/(3*1.001))^2)*(1/(2*[g]))+1.001
Evaluating ... ...
H = 5.00138635831181
STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit
5.00138635831181 Meter --> No Conversion Required
FINAL ANSWER
5.00138635831181 5.001386 Meter <-- Total Head

Broad Crested Weir Calculators

Discharge over Broad Crested Weir
​ Go Discharge Over Broad Crested Weir = Length of Weir Crest*Critical Depth of Weir*sqrt((2*[g])*(Total Head-Critical Depth of Weir))
Velocity of Flow given Head
​ Go Velocity of Fluid for Weir = sqrt((2*Acceleration due to Gravity)*(Total Head-Critical Depth of Weir))
Critical Depth due to Reduction in Area of Flow Section given Total Head
​ Go Critical Depth of Weir = Total Head-(Velocity of Fluid for Weir^2/(2*Acceleration due to Gravity))
Total Head above Weir Crest
​ Go Total Head = Critical Depth of Weir+(Velocity of Fluid for Weir^2/(2*Acceleration due to Gravity))

Total Head given Discharge over Weir Crest Formula
