Length of Settling Zone given Vertical Falling Speed in Sedimentation Tank Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Length = Discharge/(Settling Velocity*Width)
L = Q/(v_s*w)
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Length - (Measured in Meter) - Length is the measurement or extent of something from end to end.
Discharge - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Second) - Discharge is the rate of flow of a liquid.
Settling Velocity - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Settling velocity is defined as the terminal velocity of a particle in still fluid.
Width - (Measured in Meter) - Width is the measurement or extent of something from side to side.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Discharge: 1.01 Cubic Meter per Second --> 1.01 Cubic Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Settling Velocity: 1.5 Meter per Second --> 1.5 Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Width: 2.29 Meter --> 2.29 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

L = Q/(v_s*w) --> 1.01/(1.5*2.29)

Evaluating ... ...

L = 0.294032023289665

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.294032023289665 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.294032023289665 ≈ 0.294032 Meter <-- Length

What is sedimentation?

Sedimentation is the tendency for particles in suspension to settle out of the fluid in which they are entrained and come to rest against a barrier. This is due to their motion through the fluid in response to the forces acting on them: these forces can be due to gravity, centrifugal acceleration, or electromagnetism.

How to Calculate Length of Settling Zone given Vertical Falling Speed in Sedimentation Tank?

Length of Settling Zone given Vertical Falling Speed in Sedimentation Tank calculator uses Length = Discharge/(Settling Velocity*Width) to calculate the Length, Length of Settling Zone given Vertical Falling Speed in Sedimentation Tank is quantity with dimension distance. Length is denoted by L symbol.

How to calculate Length of Settling Zone given Vertical Falling Speed in Sedimentation Tank using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Length of Settling Zone given Vertical Falling Speed in Sedimentation Tank, enter Discharge (Q), Settling Velocity (v_s) & Width (w) and hit the calculate button.
