In an open channel flow, the discharge at a certain section can be measured by the use of the weir, given by the equation: Q=815C2g tan(12θ) H5/2

In an open channel flow, the discharge at a certain section can be measured by the use of the weir, given by the equation:
 

Q=815C2g tan(12θ) H5/2

 

where Q is the discharge, C is the coefficient of discharge, H is the head, g is gravitational acceleration. This formula is for:
