Objective:
Apparatus
Tilting flume
Weir plate
Stop watch
THEORY:
1. Set up the tilting flume with the slope adjusted by 1 revolution of the
tilting screw.
4. Measure the width of the channel and depth of flow, and also note the
slope of the flume and record.
5. Adjust the tilting screw and/or quantity of flow rate for another trial
and repeat steps 3 and 4.
DATA
Difference between the values of these two flow rates is because the theoretical
flow rate depends on the slope of the channel bed and also on the other factory like
manning roughness coefficient but the measure flow rate depends only on the area and
velocity of the fluid through that area. Applying the same flow rate at different slopes
has shown that the change in the slope of bed change the theoretical flow rate value as it
depends on the depth of the flow. Value of theoretical flow rate at 0.002 gradient is less
than the value at the 0.005 gradient, this show that increasing the gradient increase the
theoretical flow rate while the measured flow rate remains the same.
