Retention Time given Volume of Flocculation Basin Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary
Formula Used
Retention Time = (Volume of Tank*Time in min per day)/Flow rate of secondary effluent
T = (V*Tm/d)/Qe
This formula uses 4 Variables
Variables Used
Retention Time - (Measured in Second) - Retention time is a measure of the time taken to pass through the flocculation basin.
Volume of Tank - (Measured in Cubic Meter) - Volume of tank is defined as the capacity of flocculation and mixing tank.
Time in min per day - Time in min per day is the ratio of time in min to time in day.
Flow rate of secondary effluent - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Second) - Flow rate of secondary effluent is the volume of effluent passing per unit time.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Volume of Tank: 9 Cubic Meter --> 9 Cubic Meter No Conversion Required
Time in min per day: 0.3 --> No Conversion Required
Flow rate of secondary effluent: 5 Cubic Meter per Second --> 5 Cubic Meter per Second No Conversion Required
