Length of Tank given Flow Velocity Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary
Formula Used
Length = (Flow Velocity*Depth)/Settling Velocity
L = (Vf*D)/vs
This formula uses 4 Variables
Variables Used
Length - (Measured in Meter) - Length is the measurement or extent of something from end to end.
Flow Velocity - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Flow Velocity is the velocity of the flow of any fluid.
Depth - (Measured in Meter) - Depth is the distance from the top or surface to the bottom of something.
Settling Velocity - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Settling velocity is defined as the terminal velocity of a particle in still fluid.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Flow Velocity: 1.12 Meter per Second --> 1.12 Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Depth: 3 Meter --> 3 Meter No Conversion Required
Settling Velocity: 1.5 Meter per Second --> 1.5 Meter per Second No Conversion Required
STEP 2: Evaluate Formula
Substituting Input Values in Formula
L = (Vf*D)/vs --> (1.12*3)/1.5
Evaluating ... ...
L = 2.24
STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit
2.24 Meter --> No Conversion Required
FINAL ANSWER
2.24 Meter <-- Length
(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)

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 Flow Velocity Formula

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

What is settling velocity ?

The settling velocity (also referred to as the “sedimentation velocity”) is defined as the terminal velocity of a particle in still fluid.

How to Calculate Length of Tank given Flow Velocity?

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