FAQs on Time Required to Lower Liquid Surface

What is the formula to find Time Required to Lower Liquid Surface?
The formula of Time Required to Lower Liquid Surface is expressed as Time Interval = ((2*Cross-Sectional Area of Reservoir)/((2/3)*Coefficient of Discharge*sqrt(2*Acceleration due to Gravity)*Length of Weir Crest))*(1/sqrt(Head on Downstream of Weir)-1/sqrt(Head on Upstream of Weir)). Here is an example- 0.570147 = ((2*13)/((2/3)*0.66*sqrt(2*9.8)*3))*(1/sqrt(5.1)-1/sqrt(10.1)).
How to calculate Time Required to Lower Liquid Surface?
With Cross-Sectional Area of Reservoir (AR), Coefficient of Discharge (Cd), Acceleration due to Gravity (g), Length of Weir Crest (Lw), Head on Downstream of Weir (h2) & Head on Upstream of Weir (HUpstream) we can find Time Required to Lower Liquid Surface using the formula - Time Interval = ((2*Cross-Sectional Area of Reservoir)/((2/3)*Coefficient of Discharge*sqrt(2*Acceleration due to Gravity)*Length of Weir Crest))*(1/sqrt(Head on Downstream of Weir)-1/sqrt(Head on Upstream of Weir)).
