Rate of Flow given Detention Time Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Rate of Flow = (Volume of Tank/Detention time)
q_flow = (V/T_d)
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Rate of Flow - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Second) - Rate of Flow is the rate at which a liquid or other substance flows through a particular channel, pipe, etc.
Volume of Tank - (Measured in Cubic Meter) - Volume of tank is defined as the capacity of flocculation and mixing tank.
Detention time - (Measured in Second) - Detention time is the length of time water is retained in a vessel or basin.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Volume of Tank: 9 Cubic Meter --> 9 Cubic Meter No Conversion Required
Detention time: 3 Minute --> 180 Second (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

q_flow = (V/T_d) --> (9/180)

Evaluating ... ...

q_flow = 0.05

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.05 Cubic Meter per Second --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.05 Cubic Meter per Second <-- Rate of Flow

(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)

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

Rate of Flow given Detention Time Formula

Rate of Flow = (Volume of Tank/Detention time)
q_flow = (V/T_d)

What is detention time ?

Detention time is a measure of how long a given molecule of water resides within a pond before being discharged.
