Length of Tank given Overflow Rate Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Length = (Discharge/(Overflow Rate*Width))
L = (Q/(SOR*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.
Overflow Rate - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Overflow rate is often used for flow over an edge (for example a weir).
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
Overflow Rate: 1.2 Meter per Second --> 1.2 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/(SOR*w)) --> (1.01/(1.2*2.29))

Evaluating ... ...

L = 0.367540029112082

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.367540029112082 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.367540029112082 ≈ 0.36754 Meter <-- Length

< 5 Length of Tank Calculators

Length of Tank given Detention Time

Go Length = (Detention time*Discharge)/(Width*Depth)

Length of Tank given Settling Velocity of Particular Sized Particle

Go Length = (70*Discharge)/(100*Width*Settling Velocity)

Length of Tank given Flow Velocity

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

Length of Tank given Settling Velocity

Go Length = (Discharge/(Settling Velocity*Width))

Length of Tank given Overflow Rate

Go Length = (Discharge/(Overflow Rate*Width))

Length of Tank given Overflow Rate Formula

Length = (Discharge/(Overflow Rate*Width))
L = (Q/(SOR*w))

What is overflow rate ?

Overflow rate is an empirical parameter describing the settling characteristics of solids in a specific wastewater. Overflow rate is defined as the volume of water flow per unit of time divided by the surface area of the settling basin.

How to Calculate Length of Tank given Overflow Rate?

Length of Tank given Overflow Rate calculator uses Length = (Discharge/(Overflow Rate*Width)) to calculate the Length, Length of Tank given Overflow Rate calculates length of sedimentation tank when we have prior information of other parameters used. Length is denoted by L symbol.

How to calculate Length of Tank given Overflow Rate using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Length of Tank given Overflow Rate, enter Discharge (Q), Overflow Rate (SOR) & Width (w) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Length of Tank given Overflow Rate calculation can be explained with given input values -> 0.363901 = (discharge/(1.2*2.29)).

FAQ

What is Length of Tank given Overflow Rate?

Length of Tank given Overflow Rate calculates length of sedimentation tank when we have prior information of other parameters used and is represented as L = (Q/(SOR*w)) or Length = (Discharge/(Overflow Rate*Width)). Discharge is the rate of flow of a liquid, Overflow rate is often used for flow over an edge (for example a weir) & Width is the measurement or extent of something from side to side.

How to calculate Length of Tank given Overflow Rate?

Length of Tank given Overflow Rate calculates length of sedimentation tank when we have prior information of other parameters used is calculated using Length = (Discharge/(Overflow Rate*Width)). To calculate Length of Tank given Overflow Rate, you need Discharge (Q), Overflow Rate (SOR) & Width (w). With our tool, you need to enter the respective value for Discharge, Overflow Rate & Width and hit the calculate button. You can also select the units (if any) for Input(s) and the Output as well.

How many ways are there to calculate Length?

In this formula, Length uses Discharge, Overflow Rate & Width. We can use 4 other way(s) to calculate the same, which is/are as follows -

Length = (Flow Velocity*Depth)/Settling Velocity
Length = (Discharge/(Settling Velocity*Width))
Length = (70*Discharge)/(100*Width*Settling Velocity)
Length = (Detention time*Discharge)/(Width*Depth)
