Document Summary

The use of the sluice gate allowed us to use mechanical energy in the form of head and calculated velocity to test the validity of bernoulli"s equation in the case of a hydraulic jump. It was observed and calculated that the hydraulic jump caused inconsistencies within the bernoulli assumptions. Patm = atmospheric pressure, usually in pascals : 101325 pa [supplied in lab] Air = density of air in kg/m3 : 1. 2kg/m3 [1] Water = density of water in kg/m3 : 1000 kg/m3 [2] Q= volume flow rate, in m3/s z1 = depth of water upstream of sluice gate (m) z2 =depth of water downstream of sluice gate (m) z3 = depth of water downstream of hydraulic jump (m) H1 = flow in head upstream of sluice gate (m) H2= flow in head downstream of sluice gate(m) H3 = flow in head downstream of hydraulic jump (m) Zn = flow of water into v-notch (head) (m)
