Design of Air Vent As Per Is 12804

This document outlines the calculation of the size of an air vent pipe for a dam intake gate that is 4.8 meters wide. It determines the water discharge of 290.22 cubic meters per second and the required air discharge of 23.21 cubic meters per second based on equations that factor in the head of water, gate opening, and depth of vena contracta. However, the actual required air discharge is 20 cubic meters per second. Given an air vent velocity of 40 meters per second, the calculated area of the air vent is 0.5 square meters. Therefore, a 0.9 meter diameter air vent pipe should be provided.

DETERMINATION OF SIZE OF AIR VENT PIPE ( As per IS - 12804 )

Size of Gate : 4.80 m x 4.80 m


Maximum water level = 952.0 m
Sill level of Intake = 929.40 m
Head of Water : MWL Sill Level = 22.60 m
Air requirement Qa= * Qw

( As per equation No. 11 )

Discharge of Intake Qw = C * Go * B * 2gH ( As per equation No.10 )


Value of C is 0805 for 80 % of gate opening Obtained from Graph of Fig. 4
Go ( Gate opening ) 80% Gate height = 0.80 x 4.80 = 3.84 m
Y = Depth of Vena Contracta = C * Go = 0.805 * 3.84 = 3.09 m
B = 4.80 m Width of gate
H= Head on Vena Contracta = Head of Water Y = 22.60 3.09 = 19.50 m
Qw = 0.805 x 3.84 x 4.80 x 2 x 9 81 x 19.50 = 290.22 m3/sec
Velocity at Vena Contracta Vr = 2 gH = 2 x 9 81 x 19.50 = 19.55 m/sec
Froude Number Fr = Vr / gY
=

19.55
9.81 x 3.09

= 3.55

is obtained from graph of Fig. 3 that is 0.08 ( for F- 1 = 2.55 )


Qa = x Qw = 0.08 x 290.22 = 23.21 m3/s
But actual Discharge is 20 m3/sec only,
Area of air vent Ar = Qa/ Vw , where, Vw is air vent velocity, and considered as 40 m/s
Area of air vent Ar = 20 / 40 = 0.50 m2
Diameter of air vent d = 4 x Ar

d = 4 x 0.50

= 0.79 m
Therefore Provide 0.90 Dia Air Vent pipe
