This document discusses different types of gates and siphons used in open channel flow. It begins by describing the geometry of sluice gates, including definitions of terms like gate opening and vena contracta. It then shows diagrams and definitions for other gate types like radial gates and drum gates. The document also explains the concepts of siphon flow, including diagrams of a basic siphon and definitions of terms. It provides equations for calculating flow rates, volume flow rate, mass flow rate, and weight flow rate. Examples are given for calculating time of emptying/filling tanks and pipes, as well as worked examples for siphon problems.

Water flows from a 10-cm diameter container that contains three holes as
shown in the figure. The diameter of each fluid stream is 0.4cm, and the
distance between holes is 5cm. If viscous effects are negligible and quasi-
steady conditions are assumed.
Determine the time at which the water stops draining from the top hole.
Compare it with the time required to stop draining from the container.
Quasi-steady flow: means that at any
moment of time, we can solve the
problem as if the flow were steady.
29. Barometer: instruments used for measuring
atmospheric pressure.
At sea level the average atmospheric pressure
is:
101.3 kPa = 760 mm of mercury
= 14.7 psi = 2117 Ib/ft2
Atmospheric Pressure
30. Absolute Pressure: is the total pressure measured
above zero (perfect vacuum),
Gage Pressure: is the pressure measured above
atmospheric pressure.
Absolute Pressure = gage pressure + atmospheric
pressure
Suppose that the tire gage measure measures 30 psi
(gage),
Absolute pressure = 30 psi + 14.7 psi = 44.7psi,

44. What is Pitot tube:
Pitot Tube is a device used for measuring the velocity
of flow at any point in a pipe or a channel. The Pitot
tube was invented by the French Engineer Henri Pitot.
The principle of Pitot tube is based on the Bernoulli's
equation, where each term can be interpreted as a
form of pressure.
45. Pitot Tube
It is used to measure flow rate at a particular point in a flowing
fluid. Such devices are frequently used as air speed indicators in
aircraft
The Pitot tube consists of a tube with a small opening at the
measuring end. This small hole faces the flowing fluid,
When the fluid contacts the Pitot tube, the fluid velocity is zero
and the pressure is maximum.
This small hole or impact opening, provide the higher pressure for
pressure measurement.
The purpose of the static ports is to sense the true static pressure
of the free airstream.
47. Note: the gray circles outlined in dotted red boxes are Pitot-static ports,
which, combined with an aircraft's Pitot tubes
48. With no flow, the pressure at
both ports is the same and the
level in each “leg” of the U-tube
is the same.
Flow Sensors are typically a Form of Pitot Tube.
49. The Pitot tube is used to find the Velocity of a fluid. The
parameters for the model include density of fluid “L”,
density of manometer liquid (i), differential head (h).
50.
51. Laminar flow: slow, organized, parallel to vessel
walls, parabolic profile.
Vortex flow: swirling, often countercurrent eddies
seen at bifurcations and after stenosis
Turbulent flow: disorganized, random, with high
velocities.
52. Types of Flow

Low velocity
Particles flow in straight

Most common type of flow.
56. The weir is one of the oldest, cheapest, most straight
forward and reliable structures for the determination of
flow in channels where sufficient water depth is available.
A simple weir consists of a structure in wood, metal or
concrete placed perpendicular to the flow in a channel.
The structure has a sharp-edged opening or notch of
specific shape and dimension through which the water
can flow. Weirs are identified by shape as indicated
below.
Weir
60. Each type of weir has certain advantages under specific
conditions. Generally, for accurate readings, a standard V-
notch or a rectangular suppressed (parallel sides with no
side contractions) weir should be used. The Cipolletti and
rectangular weirs with full end contractions are especially
suited for water division.
Normally the observer has a reasonable idea of the
quantities to be measured and taking the following into
account, a choice can be made of the suitable weir for
particular circumstances:
Choice of weir
61. The maximum expected water height above the weir must be
at least 60 mm to prevent the nape from adhering to the weir
crest. Furthermore it is difficult to take accurate readings on
the measuring scale if (h) is too low.
The length of the rectangular and Cipolletti weirs must be at
least equal to three times the water height above the weir
crest.
The V-notch is the most suitable for measurements smaller
than 100 m³/h.
62. The V-notch is as accurate as the other weir types for
flows between 100 and 1 000 m³/h provided that
submergence does not occur.
The weir crest must be as high above the channel floor
as possible so that free overflow (of the nape) will take
place.
The flow depth over the weir should not exceed 600 mm.
63. When the channel feeding the water to the weir is wider than
the weir crest, the sides of the stream will narrow where it
crosses the weir. The width of the stream flowing over the
weir will be slightly narrower than crest width. The
phenomenon is known as end contraction.
To make allowance for end contractions, the overflow
width in the basic equation must be modified as follows:
L' = L – 0.1 n h (8.4)
where:
L' = effective length of weir [m]
L = measured length of weir [m]
n = number of end contractions
h = overflow depth [m].
End Contractions
64. A rectangular weir that does not span the whole channel is called a weir
with end contractions. The effective length of the weir will be less than the
actual weir length due to contraction of the flow jet caused by the
sidewalls.
where,
N = the number of contractions, and
L‘ = measured length of the crest.
L = L' – 0.1 n h
L'
65. A lined channel is provided with a lining of impervious material
on its bed and banks to prevent the seepage of water.
Lined Canal
68. Advantages of Canal Lining:
It reduces the loss of water due to seepage and hence the
duty is enhanced,
It controls the water logging and hence the bad effects of
water-logging are eliminated,
It provides smooth surface and hence the velocity of flow
can be increased.
Advantage of Canal Lining
69. Disadvantages of Canal Lining:
Higher initial investment,
Repair is costly,
Shifting of outlet is costly because it involve dismantling
and relaying of lining,

When two pumps are placed in series, the resulting pump performance curve is

identical pumps in series, both the actual head gained by the fluid and the flow-
rate increased, but neither will be doubled if the system curve remains the
same. The operating point is at “A” for one pump and moves to “B” for two

the flow-rate for the system will not be doubled with the addition of two pumps

system curve (see the shown figure), a significant increase in flow-rate can be
obtained as the operating point moves from point “A” to point “B”.
