Flow Velocity given Length of Tank Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary
Formula Used
Flow Velocity = ((Settling Velocity*Length)/Depth)
Vf = ((vs*L)/D)
This formula uses 4 Variables
Variables Used
Flow Velocity - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Flow Velocity is the velocity of the flow of any fluid.
Settling Velocity - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Settling velocity is defined as the terminal velocity of a particle in still fluid.
Length - (Measured in Meter) - Length is the measurement or extent of something from end to end.
Depth - (Measured in Meter) - Depth is the distance from the top or surface to the bottom of something.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Settling Velocity: 1.5 Meter per Second --> 1.5 Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Length: 3 Meter --> 3 Meter No Conversion Required
Depth: 3 Meter --> 3 Meter No Conversion Required
STEP 2: Evaluate Formula
Substituting Input Values in Formula
Vf = ((vs*L)/D) --> ((1.5*3)/3)
Evaluating ... ...
Vf = 1.5
STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit
1.5 Meter per Second --> No Conversion Required
FINAL ANSWER
1.5 Meter per Second <-- Flow Velocity
(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)

Flow Velocity given Length of Tank Formula

Flow Velocity = ((Settling Velocity*Length)/Depth)
Vf = ((vs*L)/D)

What is flow velocity ?

The flow velocity in fluid dynamics, also macroscopic velocity in statistical mechanics, or drift velocity in electromagnetism, is a vector field used to mathematically describe the motion of a continuum. The length of the flow velocity vector is the flow speed and is a scalar.

How to Calculate Flow Velocity given Length of Tank?

Flow Velocity given Length of Tank calculator uses Flow Velocity = ((Settling Velocity*Length)/Depth) to calculate the Flow Velocity, Flow Velocity given Length of Tank calculates flow velocity when we have prior information of other parameters used. Flow Velocity is denoted by Vf symbol.

How to calculate Flow Velocity given Length of Tank using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Flow Velocity given Length of Tank, enter Settling Velocity (vs), Length (L) & Depth (D) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Flow Velocity given Length of Tank calculation can be explained with given input values -> 1.5 = ((1.5*3)/3).

FAQ

What is Flow Velocity given Length of Tank?
Flow Velocity given Length of Tank calculates flow velocity when we have prior information of other parameters used and is represented as Vf = ((vs*L)/D) or Flow Velocity = ((Settling Velocity*Length)/Depth). Settling velocity is defined as the terminal velocity of a particle in still fluid, Length is the measurement or extent of something from end to end & Depth is the distance from the top or surface to the bottom of something.
How to calculate Flow Velocity given Length of Tank?
Flow Velocity given Length of Tank calculates flow velocity when we have prior information of other parameters used is calculated using Flow Velocity = ((Settling Velocity*Length)/Depth). To calculate Flow Velocity given Length of Tank, you need Settling Velocity (vs), Length (L) & Depth (D). With our tool, you need to enter the respective value for Settling Velocity, Length & Depth and hit the calculate button. You can also select the units (if any) for Input(s) and the Output as well.
