Design Surface Loading Rate given Surface Area of Circular Settling Tank Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Surface Loading Rate = (Peak Discharge/Surface Area)
R = (Q_p/SA)
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Surface Loading Rate - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Surface Loading Rate is the number of gallons of wastewater passing over 1 ft2 of tank per day.
Peak Discharge - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Second) - Peak Discharge is the maximum volume flow rate passing a particular location during an event.
Surface Area - (Measured in Square Meter) - The Surface Area of a three-dimensional shape is the sum of all of the surface areas of each of the sides.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Peak Discharge: 4 Cubic Meter per Second --> 4 Cubic Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Surface Area: 18 Square Meter --> 18 Square Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

R = (Q_p/SA) --> (4/18)

Evaluating ... ...

R = 0.222222222222222

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.222222222222222 Meter per Second --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.222222222222222 ≈ 0.222222 Meter per Second <-- Surface Loading Rate
