Introduction
The particular laws that described the quantitatively behaviour of fluid involved the
conservation of mass, energy and momentum in each application. The fluids can be treated
as continuous media base on the application of the classical laws of statics, dynamics and
thermodynamics.
A special equipment is used which is the Hydraulic Bench Description service
module, F1-10. It provides the necessary facilities to support a comprehensive range for the
hydraulic models which it is designed to demonstrate a particular aspect of hydraulic theory.
The specific hydraulic model for this experiment was the Basic Weir Apparatus, F1-13. This
model consists of two simple weirs, a rectangular notch and a vee notch.
In this experiment, two simple weirs is used. First is rectangular notch and second is
vee notch. Vee notch is one of the most precise discharge measuring devices, suitable for a
wide range of open channel flows.
Notch is a device used to measure rate of flow of a liquid through a small channel or
a tank. It is also defined as an opening in the side of a tank or a small channel in such a way
that the liquid surface in the tank or channel is below the top edge of the opening.
Weir is a concrete structure placed in an open channel over which the flow occurs. It
is generally in the form of vertically wall with a sharp edge at the top, running all the way
across the open channel. Weir is a bigger size than notch.
