Orifice Intake Design

Canal design water level 896.5 m

River maximum flood level 897.450 m
River minimum level 896.75 m
Canal discharge (Q) 10 lps
Nominal trap velocity 0.5 m/sec
K 2.5 (Loss Co-efficient)

Trap cross- sectional area (A) 0.02 m²

Width of trap 0.4 m
Depth of trap 0.3 m
Area 0.12 m² Ok
Trap length (L) = 10*A½ 3.46 m
Adopt Trap length (L) 4.00 m

Upstream orifice

For Fine gravel, Orifice velocity 0.42 m/sec

Orifice area 0.024 m²
Width of Orifice 0.4 m
Depth of Orifice 0.25 m
Orifice area 0.1 m² Ok
We have,
Q = 0.7BD√2g∆h
∆h = 0.010 m

Assume the sill velocity be 0.5 m/sec

Head loss across the sill = (K V^2)/2*g 0.0319 m

Check minimum water level

Total head loss 0.0419 m

Minimum water level required 896.542 m
Actual minimum water level 896.75 Ok

Therefore, structures level are acceptable.

Side Escape Design

Assume canal can take 50% extra flow

Discharge of water (Q) 15 lps
Head over the spill 0.45 m
Available head over the spill (h) 0.225 m
Crest length required = Q/(1.7h^1.5) 0.08 m
Provide crest length 0.2 m

Hence,
Width of trap 0.4 m
Depth of trap 0.3 m
Trap length (L) 4.00 m
Width of Orifice 0.4 m
Depth of Orifice 0.25 m
