As a minimum, a hot water cylinder needs an exhaust outlet. This guards against the cylinder boiling, and thus exploding if no relief were available.
The cylinder could boil if for example the thermostat failed to cut out. Or in the case of a direct flame water heater, the cylinder may boil in a quite ordinary course of events.
Some systems use a pressure relief valve for this important purpose, and simpler systems just use a tall standpipe whose top is higher than the local water pressure.

What is quasi steady flow?
Quasi- steady flow is one type of transient flow. In the characterized by the absence of inertial or elastic effects on the flow behavior. In such a flow the variation of discharges and pressures with time is gradual and over short time intervals the flow appears to be steady. Typical examples are the drawdown of a reservoir or the variation in demand in water distribution system over a 24- hour period.

Which phase of water can the molecules of water flow over each other?

How do weirs help with the water?
Because the weirs are anchored shaped, it helps the water to flow over the weir and springs out clear allowing a steady flow.
