Flow Velocity of Water Entering Tank Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Flow Velocity = (Discharge/(Width*Depth of tank))
V_f = (Q/(w*D_t))
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.
Discharge - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Second) - Discharge is the rate of flow of a liquid.
Width - (Measured in Meter) - Width is the measurement or extent of something from side to side.
Depth of tank - (Measured in Meter) - Depth of tank is the actual depth of the bottom of the tank and the apparent depth is the virtual depth that is observed as a result of the refraction of light.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Discharge: 1.01 Cubic Meter per Second --> 1.01 Cubic Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Width: 2.29 Meter --> 2.29 Meter No Conversion Required
Depth of tank: 5 Meter --> 5 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

V_f = (Q/(w*D_t)) --> (1.01/(2.29*5))

Evaluating ... ...

V_f = 0.0882096069868996

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.0882096069868996 Meter per Second --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.0882096069868996 ≈ 0.08821 Meter per Second <-- Flow Velocity

< 4 Flow Velocity in Sedimentation Tank Calculators

Flow Velocity given Length of Tank

Go Flow Velocity = ((Settling Velocity*Length)/Depth)

Flow Velocity of Water Entering Tank

Go Flow Velocity = (Discharge/(Width*Depth of tank))

Flow Velocity given Length to Depth Ratio

Go Flow Velocity = Settling Velocity*Length to depth

Flow Velocity of Water Entering Tank given Cross-section Area of Tank

Go Flow Velocity = Discharge/Cross-Sectional Area

Flow Velocity of Water Entering Tank Formula

Flow Velocity = (Discharge/(Width*Depth of tank))
V_f = (Q/(w*D_t))

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.
