Displacement Efficiency Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Displacement Efficiency = Flowing through Period/Detention time
D^e = F_t/T_d
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Displacement Efficiency - Displacement efficiency is the ratio of flowing period to detention period.
Flowing through Period - (Measured in Second) - Flowing through Period is the time taken by the flow.
Detention time - (Measured in Second) - Detention time is the length of time water is retained in a vessel or basin.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Flowing through Period: 2 Second --> 2 Second No Conversion Required
Detention time: 3 Minute --> 180 Second (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

D^e = F_t/T_d --> 2/180

Evaluating ... ...

D^e = 0.0111111111111111

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.0111111111111111 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.0111111111111111 ≈ 0.011111 <-- Displacement Efficiency

Flowing through Period given Displacement Efficiency

Go Flowing through Period = Displacement Efficiency*Detention time

Detention Period given Displacement Efficiency

Go Detention time = Flowing through Period/Displacement Efficiency

Displacement Efficiency

Go Displacement Efficiency = Flowing through Period/Detention time

Displacement Efficiency Formula

Displacement Efficiency = Flowing through Period/Detention time
D^e = F_t/T_d

What is displacement efficiency ?

Displacement efficiency is a measure of the amount of mobile fluid in the system. In addition to displacement efficiency, recovery efficiency for oil depends on the amount of oil contacted by injected fluids. Areal and vertical sweep efficiencies measure the degree of contact between in situ and injected fluids.

How to Calculate Displacement Efficiency?

Displacement Efficiency calculator uses Displacement Efficiency = Flowing through Period/Detention time to calculate the Displacement Efficiency, The Displacement Efficiency is a measure of the amount of mobile fluid in the system.It can be calculated when we have prior information of flowing through period and detention time . Displacement Efficiency is denoted by D^e symbol.

How to calculate Displacement Efficiency using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Displacement Efficiency, enter Flowing through Period (F_t) & Detention time (T_d) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Displacement Efficiency calculation can be explained with given input values -> 0.011111 = 2/180.
