Depth of Tank given Flow Velocity Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Depth = (Discharge in tank/(Flow Velocity*Width))
D = (Q_d/(V_f*w))
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Depth - (Measured in Meter) - Depth is the distance from the top or surface to the bottom of something.
Discharge in tank - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Second) - Discharge in tank is the volumetric flow rate of water that is transported through a given cross-sectional area. It includes any suspended solids, dissolved chemicals, or biologic material.
Flow Velocity - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Flow Velocity is the velocity of the flow of any fluid.
Width - (Measured in Meter) - Width is the measurement or extent of something from side to side.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Discharge in tank: 100 Cubic Meter per Second --> 100 Cubic Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Flow Velocity: 1.12 Meter per Second --> 1.12 Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Width: 2.29 Meter --> 2.29 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

D = (Q_d/(V_f*w)) --> (100/(1.12*2.29))

Evaluating ... ...

D = 38.9893948845914

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

38.9893948845914 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

38.9893948845914 ≈ 38.98939 Meter <-- Depth

< 5 Depth of Tank Calculators

Depth of tank given Height to Length Ratio

Go Depth = (Discharge in tank/(Settling Velocity*Width))*(Ratio of height to length)

Height of Tank given Detention Time for Circular Tank

Go Depth = (((Detention time*Discharge)/(Diameter)^2)-(0.011*Diameter))*(1/0.785)

Depth of Tank given Detention Time

Go Depth = (Detention time*Discharge)/(Length*Width)

Depth of Tank given Flow Velocity

Go Depth = (Discharge in tank/(Flow Velocity*Width))

Height of Tank given Flow Velocity

Go Depth = (Length*Settling Velocity)/Flow Velocity

Depth of Tank given Flow Velocity Formula

Depth = (Discharge in tank/(Flow Velocity*Width))
D = (Q_d/(V_f*w))

What does discharge means ?

The amount of fluid passing a section of a stream in unit time is called the discharge. If v is the mean velocity and A is the cross sectional area, the discharge Q is defined by Q = Av which is known as volume flow rate.

How to Calculate Depth of Tank given Flow Velocity?

Depth of Tank given Flow Velocity calculator uses Depth = (Discharge in tank/(Flow Velocity*Width)) to calculate the Depth, Depth of Tank given Flow Velocity calculates depth of sedimentation tank when we have prior information of other parameters used. Depth is denoted by D symbol.

How to calculate Depth of Tank given Flow Velocity using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Depth of Tank given Flow Velocity, enter Discharge in tank (Q_d), Flow Velocity (V_f) & Width (w) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Depth of Tank given Flow Velocity calculation can be explained with given input values -> 29.7619 = (100/(1.12*2.29)).

FAQ

What is Depth of Tank given Flow Velocity?

Depth of Tank given Flow Velocity calculates depth of sedimentation tank when we have prior information of other parameters used and is represented as D = (Q_d/(V_f*w)) or Depth = (Discharge in tank/(Flow Velocity*Width)). Discharge in tank is the volumetric flow rate of water that is transported through a given cross-sectional area. It includes any suspended solids, dissolved chemicals, or biologic material, Flow Velocity is the velocity of the flow of any fluid & Width is the measurement or extent of something from side to side.

How to calculate Depth of Tank given Flow Velocity?

Depth of Tank given Flow Velocity calculates depth of sedimentation tank when we have prior information of other parameters used is calculated using Depth = (Discharge in tank/(Flow Velocity*Width)). To calculate Depth of Tank given Flow Velocity, you need Discharge in tank (Q_d), Flow Velocity (V_f) & Width (w). With our tool, you need to enter the respective value for Discharge in tank, Flow Velocity & Width and hit the calculate button. You can also select the units (if any) for Input(s) and the Output as well.

How many ways are there to calculate Depth?

In this formula, Depth uses Discharge in tank, Flow Velocity & Width. We can use 4 other way(s) to calculate the same, which is/are as follows -

Depth = (Length*Settling Velocity)/Flow Velocity
Depth = (Discharge in tank/(Settling Velocity*Width))*(Ratio of height to length)
Depth = (Detention time*Discharge)/(Length*Width)
Depth = (((Detention time*Discharge)/(Diameter)^2)-(0.011*Diameter))*(1/0.785)
