Detention Period given Falling Speed of Smaller Particle Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Detention time = Outer Height/Falling Speed
T_d = H/v^'
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Detention time - (Measured in Second) - Detention time is the length of time water is retained in a vessel or basin.
Outer Height - (Measured in Meter) - Outer Height is the length of outer side of 2D cross section.
Falling Speed - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Falling Speed is the speed of the particle having smaller diameter.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Outer Height: 40 Meter --> 40 Meter No Conversion Required
Falling Speed: 0.1 Meter per Second --> 0.1 Meter per Second No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

T_d = H/v^' --> 40/0.1

Evaluating ... ...

T_d = 400

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

400 Second -->6.66666666666667 Minute (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

6.66666666666667 ≈ 6.666667 Minute <-- Detention time

(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)
