Detention Period or Aeration Period Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Detention time = Volume of Tank/Rate of Flow
T_d = V/q_flow
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.
Volume of Tank - (Measured in Cubic Meter) - Volume of tank is defined as the capacity of flocculation and mixing tank.
Rate of Flow - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Second) - Rate of Flow is the rate at which a liquid or other substance flows through a particular channel, pipe, etc.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Volume of Tank: 9 Cubic Meter --> 9 Cubic Meter No Conversion Required
Rate of Flow: 24 Cubic Meter per Second --> 24 Cubic Meter per Second No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

T_d = V/q_flow --> 9/24

Evaluating ... ...

T_d = 0.375

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.375 Second -->0.00625 Minute (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

0.00625 Minute <-- Detention time

(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)

Rate of Sewage Flow in Tank given Detention Period in Hours

Go Rate of Flow = Volume of Tank/Detention period

Detention Period given Hours

Go Detention period = Volume of Tank/Rate of Flow

Detention Period given Day

Go Detention period = Volume of Tank/Rate of Flow

Rate of Sewage Flow in Tank given Detention Period

Go Rate of Flow = Volume of Tank/Detention time

Detention Period or Aeration Period

Go Detention time = Volume of Tank/Rate of Flow

Detention Period or Aeration Period Formula

Detention time = Volume of Tank/Rate of Flow
T_d = V/q_flow

What is detention time ?

Detention time is a measure of how long a given molecule of water resides within a pond before being discharged.
