Curb Opening Inlet Orifice Equations Formulas Design Calculator
Solving for height of opening.
Note: equation applies to flow depths greater than 1.4 the opening height
Inputs:
Conversions:
| flow depth (d) | = | 0 | | = | 0 | foot |
| capture flow rate (Qi) | = | 0 | | = | 0 | foot^3/second |
| area of opening (A) | = | 0 | | = | 0 | foot^2 |
| acceleration of gravity (g) | = | 0 | | = | 0 | foot/second^2 |
Solution:
| height of opening (h) | = | HAS NOT BEEN CALCULATED | |
