Water is delivered from the bottom of a conduit that is long and wide enough for the lab setup. At one end of this channel, a Required Notch is fitted. The height of the fluid in the flow channel is measured using a hook gauge with a Vernier scale. A plan is created to fix interchangeable notches. three rectangular brass notches that are part of a set. The set up includes a 45 V notch and a 60 V notch. The current setup consists of a self-contained water recirculation device. equipped with a sump tank, a centrifugal pump, and other features. The water pipe has a flow control valve and a by-pass valve installed so that an experiment with various flow rates can be run. With the use of a measuring tank, the water flow rate is determined and stopwatch.
