How to Evaluate Discharge with Velocity of Approach?

Discharge with Velocity of Approach evaluator uses Discharge = 2/3*Coefficient of Discharge*Length of Weir*sqrt(2*[g])*((Initial Height of Liquid+Final Height of Liquid)^(3/2)-Final Height of Liquid^(3/2)) to evaluate the Discharge, The Discharge with velocity of approach formula is known by considering the initial height of liquid over the notch and then the final height is equal to ha and the discharge over a rectangular weir is given by the velocity of approach. Discharge is denoted by Q' symbol.

How to evaluate Discharge with Velocity of Approach using this online evaluator? To use this online evaluator for Discharge with Velocity of Approach, enter Coefficient of Discharge (Cd), Length of Weir (Lw), Initial Height of Liquid (Hi) & Final Height of Liquid (Hf) and hit the calculate button.

FAQs on Discharge with Velocity of Approach

What is the formula to find Discharge with Velocity of Approach?
The formula of Discharge with Velocity of Approach is expressed as Discharge = 2/3*Coefficient of Discharge*Length of Weir*sqrt(2*[g])*((Initial Height of Liquid+Final Height of Liquid)^(3/2)-Final Height of Liquid^(3/2)). Here is an example- 150112.4 = 2/3*0.8*25*sqrt(2*[g])*((186.1+0.17)^(3/2)-0.17^(3/2)).
How to calculate Discharge with Velocity of Approach?
With Coefficient of Discharge (Cd), Length of Weir (Lw), Initial Height of Liquid (Hi) & Final Height of Liquid (Hf) we can find Discharge with Velocity of Approach using the formula - Discharge = 2/3*Coefficient of Discharge*Length of Weir*sqrt(2*[g])*((Initial Height of Liquid+Final Height of Liquid)^(3/2)-Final Height of Liquid^(3/2)). This formula also uses Gravitational acceleration on Earth constant(s) and Square Root (sqrt) function(s).
What are the other ways to Calculate Discharge?
Here are the different ways to Calculate Discharge-
  • Discharge=2/3*Coefficient of Discharge*Length of Weir*sqrt(2*[g])*Initial Height of Liquid^(3/2)OpenImg
  • Discharge=1.84*Length of Weir*((Initial Height of Liquid+Final Height of Liquid)^(3/2)-Final Height of Liquid^(3/2))OpenImg
Can the Discharge with Velocity of Approach be negative?
