Where z is water level, ZCR is the elevation of the crest of Vee-notch, ZCR =
27.8cm. The flow rate over the Vee-notch is regulated by a control valve of pump,
and an ampere meter mounted on an electric box will show the current intensity of
motor corresponding to the flow rate in the pipe. The difference of pressure
between the test sections in the pipe are measured by reading the water level in the
water level in the tubes of manometer.
Where:
hi,j : the difference of manometer reading at section i and section j. On the other
hand, the friction factor can be determined by Darcy’s formula:
Where:
f: friction factor
D: diameter of pipe
V: velocity of pipe
The friction coefficient depends upon the Reynolds number of flow and upon the
ratio e/D, the relative roughness of the pipe.
Where:
e: size of roughness D
IV. PROCEDURE
1. Open the control valve (1) to discharge water into pumping chamber. When the
pumping chamber.
3. Turn on power to start pump and to regulate the revolution of the pump to 900
rpm.
4. For 3 large flow rates corresponding to 900 rpm, 800 rpm and 700 rpm:
- Reading the water level in the tubes 1 and 2, and measuring the water level before
the Vee-notch in the channel by point gauge.
5. For 5 flow rates corresponding to 650 rpm, 600 rpm, 550 rpm, 500 rpm and 450
rpm, repeat the same procedure above.

Conclusion
The distance increase which mean the head loss decreases.
For 8 flow rates (3 large flow rates and 5 small flow rates)
