SUMMARY

The discharge equation for an irrigation gate is defined as q = Cd × W × L × √(2g(h1 - h2)), where q represents the variable discharge, Cd is the discharge constant, W is the constant width of the gate, L is the variable opening control, g is the constant gravity, and h1 and h2 are the upstream and downstream water levels, respectively. The discussion focuses on transforming this equation into the Laplace domain for application in controlling barrage gate systems. The need for clarity in the problem statement and previous work is emphasized for effective problem-solving.

PREREQUISITES

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:

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

Variables:

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

[itex]Cd[/itex] = Discharge Constant

[itex]W[/itex] = Width of Gate (which is constant)

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

[itex]g[/itex] = Gravity (which is constant)

[itex]h_{1}[/itex] = Upstream Water Level

[itex]h_{2}[/itex] = 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.
