Determine the height of a rectangular weir of length 6m to be built across a rectangular channel. Maximum depth of water on the upstream side of the weir is 1.8 and discharge is 2000 l/sec . Take Cd = 0.6 and neglect end contractions.

What is centrifugal pump and reciprocating pump.

What is centrifugal pump   and reciprocating pump.  Centrifugal pump:- if the mechanical energy is converted in to pressure energy by means of centrifugal force acting on the fluid, The hydraulic machine is called centrifugal pump. Main parts of centrifugal pump:- 1.   Impeller 2.   Casing 3.   Suction pipe with a foot valve and a strainer 4.   Delivery pipe 5.   Delivery valve 6.   Eye of pump 7.   Sump Reciprocating pump:- if the mechanical energy is converted in to hydraulic energy by sucking the liquid in to a cylinder. The pump is known as reciprocating pump. Main parts of reciprocating pump:- 1.   Delivery pipe 2.   Delivery valve 3.   Cylinder 4.   Piston 5.   Connecting rod 6.   Crank 7.   Suction valve 8.   Suction pipe 9.   Piston rod 10.Sump level
