Overflow Rate given Discharge Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Overflow Rate = Discharge/(Width*Length)
SOR = Q/(w*L)
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Overflow Rate - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Overflow rate is often used for flow over an edge (for example a weir).
Discharge - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Second) - Discharge is the rate of flow of a liquid.
Width - (Measured in Meter) - Width is the measurement or extent of something from side to side.
Length - (Measured in Meter) - Length is the measurement or extent of something from end to end.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Discharge: 1.01 Cubic Meter per Second --> 1.01 Cubic Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Width: 2.29 Meter --> 2.29 Meter No Conversion Required
Length: 3 Meter --> 3 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

SOR = Q/(w*L) --> 1.01/(2.29*3)

Evaluating ... ...

SOR = 0.147016011644833

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.147016011644833 Meter per Second --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.147016011644833 ≈ 0.147016 Meter per Second <-- Overflow Rate

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

Overflow Rate given Discharge Formula

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

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. It is usually expressed as a velocity in feet per second.

How to Calculate Overflow Rate given Discharge?

Overflow Rate given Discharge calculator uses Overflow Rate = Discharge/(Width*Length) to calculate the Overflow Rate, Overflow Rate given Discharge is empirical parameter describing settling characteristics of solids in specific wastewater. Overflow Rate is denoted by SOR symbol.

How to calculate Overflow Rate given Discharge using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Overflow Rate given Discharge, enter Discharge (Q), Width (w) & Length (L) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Overflow Rate given Discharge calculation can be explained with given input values -> 0.14556 = discharge/(2.29*3).
