For Triangular Notch:
dQ/Q = (5/2) * dH/H.

For Rectangular Notch:
dQ/Q = (3/2) * dH/H.

What is the range of k?

Sunil said:   7 years ago
@Learner.

H = Height of the liquid above the apex of the notch.
k = Constant.
Q = Discharge over the notch.

To calculate discharge Multiple the head error by:-

2.5(triangular notch).
1.5(rectangular notch).

Just differenciate q=kh^5/2.
dq=k5/2dh-----equation(1)
Assume constant k=1
From given data dh=1%
Put above value in equation (1).
So dq=(1) *(5/2)*(1).
dq=5/2=2.5%.

@Harsha Kalluri.

H = Height of the liquid above the apex of the notch.
k = Constant.
Q = Discharge over the notch.

I want to know how the equation Q = kh^5/2 is formed? and what is k, h and Q.

Please tell me.
