1. The discharge of water, spilled from the spillway of the dam is given by
the following formula in the British unit system.
= 0.07 B H?
Here H shows the water height on the spillway [L]=ft, B shows the spillway's
width [L]=ft, Q shows the discharge on the spillway [L³/s]=ft/s.
(1 ft=0.3048 m)
a. Is|0.07 value a dimensionless(non-dimensional) constant?
b. Can this equation be used in other unit systems?
Please do this carefully.
Send 20 degree Celsius of water at 4.0 [m3 / h]. How many inches of standard steel pipe should be used to set the average flow rate in the pipe to 1.5 ~ 2 [m / s]? At this time, determine the average flow rate and the flow of the fluid.
