EXPERIMENT NO. 6
SELF-LEARNING EXPERIMENT
A. FLOW OVER A NOTCH APPARATUS
I. OBJECTIVE:
To investigate and understand the principles of flow over a notch using a Flow Over a Notch
apparatus through a self-learning experiment.
II. APPARATUS AND MATERIALS:
Flow Over a Notch Apparatus
Rectangular Weir Plate
V-notch
Measuring Devices (Ruler, Stopwatch)
III. QUESTIONS:
1. How is the Flow Over a Notch apparatus set up and demonstrated, and what are the key steps
involved in the experiment?
2. What are the safety considerations that need to be taken into account when conducting experiments
using the Flow Over a Notch apparatus?
3. How is the fluid flow rate measured using the Flow Over a Notch apparatus, and what are the sources
of error that need to be considered?
4. How can the experimental data obtained from the Flow Over a Notch apparatus be used to calculate
the discharge coefficient and other relevant parameters?
5. How can the Flow Over a Notch apparatus be used to investigate the effects of changes in the fluid
properties or flow conditions on the measurement of fluid flow rate?
6. How does the experimental setup and procedure of the Flow Over a Notch apparatus compare with
other methods of measuring fluid flow rate, such as the Venturi meter or the Orifice meter?
7. What are the advantages and limitations of using the Flow Over a Notch apparatus for fluid flow rate
measurement, and how do they compare to other experimental methods?
8. How can the Flow Over a Notch apparatus be modified or improved to enhance the accuracy and
precision of the fluid flow rate measurement, or to investigate other aspects of fluid mechanics?
