    Weir Flow Using The Rehbock Equation 120704

    Uploaded by

    Tumelo Thabiso Motaung
    The document discusses flow over a rectangular weir using the Rehbock equation. The Rehbock equation can be used to estimate the coefficient of discharge as a function of the head over the weir crest and the height of the weir. The flow rate over the weir can then be calculated using the weir equation, with variables including the coefficient of discharge, gravitational acceleration, head, width of the weir. An example calculation is provided.

    Weir Flow using the Rehbock Equation Brett Towler, UMass-Amherst

    Flow of water over a rectangular weir can be described by the weir equation and the
    Rehbock Equation.

    1. The Rehbock Equation can be used to estimate the coefficient of discharge:


    H
    C H 0.602 0.083
    d P

    Where: H is the head over the crest of the weir;


    P is the height of the weir

    2. The weir coefficent is a lumped parameter which includes the discharge coefficient,
    gravitational acceleration, and other geometric parameters:

    2
    C H C H 2 g
    3 d

    Where: g is the gravitational accerelation

    3. The flow rate over a sharp-crested weir is then described by the weir equation:
    3
    2
    Q H C H b H

    Where: b is the lateral width of the weir

    4. Example: Given the following values:

    m
    g 9.81
    2
    sec

    b 2m

    P 2m

    H 0.35 m

    3 The default units are SI (e.g., meters, kg, Newtons)


    m
    Q H 0.7539
    s

    3 The default SI units can be converted to english units


    ft
    Q H 26.6254 by typing the apostrophe (') and entering a new unit type.

    Note that the normally rectangular cursor changes to a
    rounded cursor.
