Question

Which of the followings statements are true about the cut-throat and Parshall flumes.
(A) The cut-throat flume is similar to the Parshall flume, but has no throat section, only converging and diverging sections
(B) It gives nearly as accurate measurements as Parshall flume in free flow condition for smaller throat widths
(C) Angles of convergence and divergence of cut-throat flume changes with size of the flume
(D) Because it is easier to construct and install, the cut-throat flume is often preferred to the Parshall flume
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

• A. (A), (B) and (D) only.
• B. (A), (B) and (C) only.
• C. (A), (B), (C) and (D).
• D. (B), (C) and (D) only.

Hint:

Remember the main advantage of the Cut-throat flume over the Parshall flume:
It has a flat bottom/floor and no throat section, which makes it much easier and cheaper to construct in the field while maintaining comparable accuracy.

Answer 1
