Settling Velocity given Surface Area with respect to Settling Velocity Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Settling Velocity = Falling Speed*Cross-Sectional Area/Area
V_s = v^'*A_cs/A
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Settling Velocity - (Measured in Meter per Second) - The Settling Velocity refers to the rate at which a particle suspended in a fluid (like water or air)falls under the influence of gravity until reaches a constant speed.
Falling Speed - (Measured in Meter per Second) - The Falling Speed refers to the constant speed at which a particle falls through a fluid when the force of gravity is balanced by the drag force and buoyant force acting on the particle.
Cross-Sectional Area - (Measured in Square Meter) - The Cross-Sectional Area refers to the area of a two-dimensional shape that is obtained when a three-dimensional shape is sliced perpendicular to some specified axis at a point.
Area - (Measured in Square Meter) - The Area refers to the measure of the extent of a two-dimensional surface or shape in a plane.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Falling Speed: 0.1 Meter per Second --> 0.1 Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Cross-Sectional Area: 13 Square Meter --> 13 Square Meter No Conversion Required
Area: 50 Square Meter --> 50 Square Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

V_s = v^'*A_cs/A --> 0.1*13/50

Evaluating ... ...

V_s = 0.026

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.026 Meter per Second --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.026 Meter per Second <-- Settling Velocity

(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)

What is sedimentation ?

Sedimentation is the tendency for particles in suspension to settle out of the fluid in which they are entrained and come to rest against a barrier. This is due to their motion through the fluid in response to the forces acting on them.
