Question: Orifice with restrictor plate ( 1 0 points ) The 1 0 0 - year outflow from a detention pond is governed by the diameter

Orifice with restrictor plate (10 points)
The 100-year outflow from a detention pond is governed by the diameter of the outlet pipe, and sometimes a restrictor plate, as shown below:
NEIR
The 100-year discharge from a 40-acre basin with class C/D soils is 49.9cfs, found using the Colorado urban hydrograph procedure (CUHP). This basin is being developed with single family homes. You are to design the 100-year orifice for a detention pond, using a pipe diameter of 30". Assume there is 6ft of head above the centroid of the orifice at the 100-year stage, and that it is freely discharging into the outflow pipe (orifice coefficient of 0.59). Find the height of the restrictor plate (above the invert, in ft) so that the outflow is 90% of the predevelopment discharge. Hint: you will need to revisit semi-full discharge in a circular cross section to determine the flow area.
