Description: Hi there can you review the question below, it has been solved already in this platform,But I can't figure out why on differentiating dh/dw on the equation B of this problem gave a result of dh=(-9/50)*dw. Shouldn't it be dh=(-9/50)w*dw? Cheers...THE

A popular fl ow-measurement device in agriculture is theParshall flume, Fig. P10.117, named after its inventor,Ralph L. Parshall, who developed it in 1922 for theU.S. Bureau of Reclamation.

Derive a formula forestimating Q from the measurement of H and knowledge ofconstriction width b. Neglect the entrance velocity head.
This problem is useful for the preliminary design of a hydroturbine. From the material learned in this chapter, it is fairly simple to estimate how much power a hydroturbine can generate, given only the flow rate of water and the elevation difference upstream and downstream of the dam. A dam has a gross head of 15.5 m and a flow rate of 0.22 m3 /s. Approximating the overall efficiency of the turbine/generator to be 75%, estimate the electrical power (in kW) that couldbe produced.
