Length to Depth Ratio given Settling Velocity Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Length to depth = Flow Velocity/Settling Velocity
LH = V_f/v_s
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Length to depth - Length to depth is the ratio of length of the tank to depth of the sedimentation tank.
Flow Velocity - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Flow Velocity is the velocity of the flow of any fluid.
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
Settling Velocity: 1.5 Meter per Second --> 1.5 Meter per Second No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

LH = V_f/v_s --> 1.12/1.5

Evaluating ... ...

LH = 0.746666666666667

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.746666666666667 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.746666666666667 ≈ 0.746667 <-- Length to depth

Height to Length Ratio given Settling Velocity

Go Ratio of height to length = (Settling Velocity*Width*Depth)/Discharge

Overflow Rate given Discharge

Go Overflow Rate = Discharge/(Width*Length)

Length to Depth Ratio given Settling Velocity

Go Length to depth = Flow Velocity/Settling Velocity

Rate of Flow given Detention Time

Go Rate of Flow = (Volume of Tank/Detention time)

Volume of Tank given Detention Time

Go Volume of Tank = Detention time*Rate of Flow

Length to Depth Ratio given Settling Velocity Formula

Length to depth = Flow Velocity/Settling Velocity
LH = V_f/v_s

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.
