Outlet Structure

1. Outlet weir
   
   Provide 90^o angle V-notch on both side of launders, weir loading rate14,000 gpd/ft at Q_p

4. Discharge q and hydraulic head over one V-notch⁽¹⁾
   One tank service at Q_p=10 mgd,

   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   Cd=0.575

   Q_p(gal/day): Number of V-notch Weir:
   
   
   
   q(ft³/s) h(ft)

   Two tanks service at Q_p=10 mgd, or one tank for Q_A,_d=5.0 mgd

   
   
   
   

   
   
   Two tanks service at Q_A,d=5.0 mgd

   
   
   

   All of which fit the design standard well.

   Figue 15. Water surface profile in the effluent launder(Dimesions don't apply).
   
   

   
   Width of launders, b=1';
   y₁ is depth of the luanders;
   Space between any two launders = 2';
   The flow profile in launders is parabolic curve;
   y₂ = the water depth at the end of launder, Select y₂ = 2';
   n = Number of V-notch per launder/2;
   l = Width of tank/2;
   q = flowrate per V-notch;
   at Q_p,
