AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on the discharge equation for an irrigation gate, expressed as q=Cd.W.L.sqrt[2g(h1-h2)], where q represents variable discharge, Cd is a constant, W is a constant width, L is a variable control opening, g is the gravity constant, and h1 and h2 are upstream and downstream water levels, respectively. The goal is to transform this equation into a Laplace equation for application in controlling barrage gate systems. Participants encourage clearer articulation of the problem and request details on any preliminary work done. Clarification on the intended use of the Laplace equation is also sought. The conversation emphasizes the importance of understanding the variables involved in order to effectively address the problem.

The discharge of irrigation gate is
q=Cd.W.L.sqrt[2g{h1-h2}] where q is the discharge of gate which is veriable value(dq/dt),Cd discharge constant,W is width of gate(constant value),L is opening gate control which is variable value(dL/dt),g is gravity constant,h1&h2 is up and downstream of water level of river ,I want to transphere in lablace equation to use it as a processor in controlling barages gate system .
Thankyou

Firstly try setting out what you know more clearly.

Equation for Discharge of Irrigation Gate:

q=Cd\times W \times L \times \sqrt{2g(h_{1}-h_{2})}

Variables:

q = Discharge of Gate (which is variable \frac{dq}{dt})

Cd = Discharge Constant

W = Width of Gate (which is constant)

L = Opening Gate Control (which is variable \frac{dL}{dt})

g = Gravity (which is constant)

h_{1} = Upstream Water Level

h_{2} = Downstream Water Level

Just makes it easier to see what's what when attempting to solve the problem. :smile:

Secondly, "transphere in lablace equation" .. I presume you mean that you want to use the Laplace Equation :wink:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laplace's_equation

Thirdly/Finally, it's a bit unclear exactly what you want to do, and also could you detail what work you have done so far on this problem.
