A 90o v-notch weir is used to measure discharge flow rate. A head (H) of 6 inches is measured behind the weir. Assume the following:

Weir equation is Q = 2.5H2.5 (Q in cfs and H in feet)
1 cfs = 450 gpm
a) Estimate discharge flow rate in gallons per minute (gpm)
b) Briefly describe hydraulic principle of open channel flow measurement

Please show all work. Thank you so much in advance!

Is there any reason for why a V-notch weir equation for flow rate will give much different values than the measured flow rate values in an experiment? The professor says this is intentional, and to find the reason why this is. This is the V-notch equation mentioned: Q=(8/15)(Cd)sqrt(2g)tan(theta/2) * H^2.5 The weir used had an angle of 60 degrees and the given discharge coefficient was 0.5767. It should also be mentioned that using a power regression method on the measured...

For Broad crested weir Experiment: i. Does the magnitude of the flow-rate affect the discharge coefficient Cd? ii. Does Cd increase or decrease with increasing flow-rate? iii. What is the pattern of the water as it passes over the weir? iv. Would you expect the length of the weir crest to affect the discharge coefficient Cd? v. What is the effect of drowning the weir (increasing the downstream depth)?

In discharge over V-notch experiment, calibration curve (using log Q vs log H) is plotted. How would you interpret results which, when plotted logarithmically, fall on a line which is not straight but slightly curved? and, What are the effects of a change in the V-notch angle on the discharge equation and the accuracy of flow measurement?

An approach to a signalized intersection has a saturation flow rate of 1800 veh/h. At the beginning of an effective red, there are 6 vehicles in queue and vehicles arrive at a rate of 900 veh/h. The signal has a 60-second cycle with 25 seconds of effective red. What is the total vehicle delay after one cycle?

. In a device (figure 30-6) that is used to measure the maximum kinetic energy of photoelectric effect electrons, the voltage difference between the collector and emitter is increased until the current flowing through the circuit goes to zero. This is called the stopping potential and the KEmax can be very simply calculated if you use electron-volts. Using this device, you measure this voltage to be 0.710 V for electrons emitted from a surface illuminated by 492-nm light. Then, when...
