Task 1:

Write a short report (not more than 4 pages), discussing the critical factors you need to consider when selecting a pump, including its driver and auxiliaries.

Task 2:

A combined weir is used in exceptional conditions, when a traditional weir is not suitable for measuring the flow. Based on your research, demonstrate how a combined weir (rectangular-triangular combo) shall look like, with a dimensional view, along with necessary physical characteristics (parameter).

Task 3:

While running a test on a rectangular weir in the lab, you have recorded the following data. Write the equation to determine the coefficient of discharge C_d and put the applicable values (from the data given below) in the equation.

Volume collected, V (m3)	Time of collection, t (s)	Volume flow rate, Qact(m3/s)	Height of water level, H (m)	Cd
0.0003	4	7.50 x 10-5	0.02

Width of the weir, b = 0.03m

Gravity, g = 9.81 m²/s
