hydtool, as it is I have the average flow coming in as 2.1m3/hour but it is the outflow rate I am concerned about. Please note picture attached http://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=69795088-c956-4cb2-b75c-c4e744c7d45f&file=20161017_134053.jpg
flow coming inside the siphon chamber,i think that if the leak is as large as the incoming flow then definitely it would be noticed at the outlet by a flooding at the surface where the plants...
Katmar, thank you I will check for the leak on the outlet pipes feeding the plants, my question still is if there is a leak somewhere how come the siphon still manages to discharge even once, or twice or could be because of the increase in incoming flow rate, is so i have the second graph that...
bimr, would trapezium flumes fit with the pipe diameter i have and where exactly would i insert them?
sandcounter,i know ballistics for a projectile are they any for flow in a pipe? and since the height in the pipe is always varying would they work?
Thank you all for responses
The pipe is never full maybe a quarter way full, it is on a flat surface, a bucket cannot be used since the depth between the pipe and water surface is low as shown in the diagram. the flow rate is approximately 0.47m3/hour, worse case 0m/hour, minimum 0.06m3/hour...
bimr, currently the treatment system is using a float siphon so rather than replacing it with a bell one the company wants to minimum purchasing costs and just fix whatever is wrong with the float one
Oooo did not know, thank you how about venture flume is it applicable to low flow rates? I had also thought of using a positive displacement pump to measure volume per time
