Inlet Time or Time of Equilibrium Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Inlet Time = (0.885*((Length of Overland Flow)^3/Fall of level))^0.385
T_i = (0.885*((L_ob)^3/H))^0.385
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Inlet Time - (Measured in Second) - Inlet Time is the time taken by water to flow overland.
Length of Overland Flow - (Measured in Meter) - Length of Overland Flow is a length of water over the ground before it gets concentrated into certain stream channels.
Fall of level - (Measured in Meter) - Fall of level from the critical point to the point of mouth of drain.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Length of Overland Flow: 4 Kilometer --> 4000 Meter (Check conversion here)
Fall of level: 10.05 Meter --> 10.05 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

T_i = (0.885*((L_ob)^3/H))^0.385 --> (0.885*((4000)^3/10.05))^0.385

Evaluating ... ...

T_i = 5676.99504842391

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

5676.99504842391 Second -->94.6165841403986 Minute (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

94.6165841403986 ≈ 94.61658 Minute <-- Inlet Time

< 6 Time of Concentration Calculators

Length of Overland Flow given Inlet Time

Go Length of Overland Flow = (((Inlet Time)^(1/0.385)*Fall of level)/0.885)^(1/3)

Total Fall of Level from Critical Point to Mouth of Drain given Inlet Time

Go Fall of level = (Length of Overland Flow)^3/((Inlet Time)^(1/0.385)/0.885)

Inlet Time or Time of Equilibrium

Go Inlet Time = (0.885*((Length of Overland Flow)^3/Fall of level))^0.385

Channel Flow Time given Total Time of Concentration

Go Channel Flow Time = Time of Concentration-Inlet Time

Inlet Time given Total Time of Concentration

Go Inlet Time = Time of Concentration-Channel Flow Time

Total Time of Concentration

Go Time of Concentration = Inlet Time+Channel Flow Time

Inlet Time or Time of Equilibrium Formula

Inlet Time = (0.885*((Length of Overland Flow)^3/Fall of level))^0.385
T_i = (0.885*((L_ob)^3/H))^0.385

What is Inlet Time ?

The time required for the rain in falling on the most remote point of the tributary area to flow across the ground surface along the natural drains or gutters up to inlet of sewer is called inlet time.

How to Calculate Inlet Time or Time of Equilibrium?

Inlet Time or Time of Equilibrium calculator uses Inlet Time = (0.885*((Length of Overland Flow)^3/Fall of level))^0.385 to calculate the Inlet Time, The Inlet Time or Time of Equilibrium is defined as the time required for the rain in falling on the most remote point of the tributary area. Inlet Time is denoted by T_i symbol.

How to calculate Inlet Time or Time of Equilibrium using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Inlet Time or Time of Equilibrium, enter Length of Overland Flow (L_ob) & Fall of level (H) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Inlet Time or Time of Equilibrium calculation can be explained with given input values -> 1.579974 = (0.885*((4000)^3/10.05))^0.385.

FAQ

What is Inlet Time or Time of Equilibrium?

The Inlet Time or Time of Equilibrium is defined as the time required for the rain in falling on the most remote point of the tributary area and is represented as T_i = (0.885*((L_ob)^3/H))^0.385 or Inlet Time = (0.885*((Length of Overland Flow)^3/Fall of level))^0.385. Length of Overland Flow is a length of water over the ground before it gets concentrated into certain stream channels & Fall of level from the critical point to the point of mouth of drain.

How to calculate Inlet Time or Time of Equilibrium?

The Inlet Time or Time of Equilibrium is defined as the time required for the rain in falling on the most remote point of the tributary area is calculated using Inlet Time = (0.885*((Length of Overland Flow)^3/Fall of level))^0.385. To calculate Inlet Time or Time of Equilibrium, you need Length of Overland Flow (L_ob) & Fall of level (H). With our tool, you need to enter the respective value for Length of Overland Flow & Fall of level and hit the calculate button. You can also select the units (if any) for Input(s) and the Output as well.
