‘CTIVE: To study the discharge over different ype of notches, IM: To determine the co-efficient of discharge ‘Caf different notches: langular Noteh jotch - 45°, V-Noteh - 60° f INTRODUCTION: motch isa device used for measuring the rate of a lguid through a small channel ora tank. It Bay be defined as an opening in the side of a tank or a small channel in such a way that the uid surface in the tank or channel is below the top edge of the opening. The sheet of water Rowing through the notch is called Nappe or Vein, The bottom edge of a notch over which the er flaws, is known asthe sill oerest V Notch WeirRectangular Trapezoidal ¥ Crest Length (Crest Length Compound ‘otal Crest Length | v ratio of actual discharge Q. over a notch to the theoretical discharge Q, is known as co- Aicient of discharge. Mathematically, co-efficient of discharge: heoretical discharge for Rectangular Notch \eoretical discharge for Triangular Notch “The apparatus consists of a sump tank, pump to circulate water and a flow channel. A set of thre knife edged notch plates made of brass is provided. One of them is rectangular, other is “V"tricity supply: Single Phase, 220 V AC, 50 Fiz, 5- ection ler supply (Initial Fill) por Drain Required or Area required: 1.5 mx0.75 m 15 Amp. combined socket with earth EXPERIMENTAL PROCEDURE. |ARTING PROCEDURE: lose all the valves provided V1 to V4. ill sump tank % with clean water and ensure that no foreign particles are there. ix desired notch at the outlet of flow channel Open by-pass valve V2. Ensure that all On/Off Switches given on the panel are at OFF position. Now switch ON the main power supply. ‘Switch on the pump. "Operate flow control valve VI and by pass valve V2 to fill the flow channel up to no discharge ‘oceurs through notch. Fully open bypass valve V2 and close the flow control valve V1 and wait for level of water tank Measure the height of water level at no flow condition (crest height. [Regulate flow of water through channel with the help of flow control valve V1 and by pass valve v2. Record the height of water level in the channel with the help of pointer Gauge. Measure flow rate using measuring tank and stop watch. Repeat the experiment for different flow rates. Repeat the experiment for other notches. CLOSING PROCEDURE: When experiment is over, Switch off pump. Switch off power supply to panel. Open bypass valve V2and flow control valve VI. Drain water from all tanks with the help of provided drain valves Vs & V. 8: OBSERVATION & CALCULATION:NomeNcLature: Column Heading Units Type ‘Area of measuring tank, ig ‘Covelficientofaecharge or recianguar notch and Caiaaated | angular notch. | og | Acceleration duets gravy, | rar | Cate | em] Weabured Water head over crest mr R_| Uiquidieval fiowat parteatar neigh, on | Crest height em Gn | Measured 1 _ | Wait of he rectangurarnoteh ia meters m 7 oe | ‘Adual discharge, msec msec | Calculated | R,_| Final evel of water in measuring tank Gm C_| Measured || R; | Initial level of water in measuringtank, om: Cc ‘Measured |) ¢ Tt” | Time forR, sec ‘Sec | Measured 1] 7 Rear ae aT Tatar ore 10: PRECAUTION & MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS: Never run the apparatus if power supply is less than 200 volts and above 230 volts, Never switch on main power supply before ensuring that all the on/off switches given on the panel are at off position. Never fully close the flow control valve V, and by pass valve V. simultaneously. If epparatus is not in use for more than one month, drain the apparatus completely. Always keep the apparatus free from dust 11: TROUBLESHOOTING {If pump gets jam, open the back cover of pump and rotate the shaft manually.
