Settling Velocity of Particular Sized Particle Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Settling Velocity = (70*Discharge)/(100*Width*Length)
v_s = (70*Q)/(100*w*L)
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Settling Velocity - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Settling velocity is defined as the terminal velocity of a particle in still fluid.
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

v_s = (70*Q)/(100*w*L) --> (70*1.01)/(100*2.29*3)

Evaluating ... ...

v_s = 0.102911208151383

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.102911208151383 Meter per Second --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.102911208151383 ≈ 0.102911 Meter per Second <-- Settling Velocity

(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)
