Detention Time for Rectangular Tank Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Detention time = Volume of Tank/Discharge
T_d = V/Q
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.
Discharge - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Second) - Discharge 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.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Volume of Tank: 9 Cubic Meter --> 9 Cubic Meter No Conversion Required
Discharge: 3 Cubic Meter per Second --> 3 Cubic Meter per Second No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

T_d = V/Q --> 9/3

Evaluating ... ...

T_d = 3

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

3 Second -->0.05 Minute (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

0.05 Minute <-- Detention time

(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)

Detention Time for Circular Tank

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

Detention Time given Discharge

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

Detention Time for Rectangular Tank

Go Detention time = Volume of Tank/Discharge

Detention Time for Rectangular Tank Formula

Detention time = Volume of Tank/Discharge
T_d = V/Q

What is detention time ?
