Theory: - Notch is a device used for measuring the flow rate through a small tank or
channel, opening is below/ top edge of the opening tank or channel.
Instruments:-
(1) Notch apparatus
(2) Piezometer tube
(3) Stop watch & Scale

RECTANGULAR NOTCH :- The discharge over a rectangular notch is given by
Q = 2/3 Cd L2g H
3/2

In the above equation for a given notch 2/3 Cd L2g is constant & is denoted by K

K = 2/3 CdL2g

g 2 L 2
K 3
Cd Co-efficient of Discharge = Cd.
& Now Q = K. H
3/2

(1) Graphically it in determined Q = K.H
n

Taking logarithm on both side Q = K.H
n

Log Q = Log K+Log H

Then draw a graph of log Q v/s Log H
