Settling Velocity given Length to Depth Ratio Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Settling Velocity = Flow Velocity/Length to depth
v_s = V_f/LH
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Settling Velocity - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Settling velocity is defined as the terminal velocity of a particle in still fluid.
Flow Velocity - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Flow Velocity is the velocity of the flow of any fluid.
Length to depth - Length to depth is the ratio of length of the tank to depth of the sedimentation tank.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Flow Velocity: 1.12 Meter per Second --> 1.12 Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Length to depth: 0.9 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

v_s = V_f/LH --> 1.12/0.9

Evaluating ... ...

v_s = 1.24444444444444

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

1.24444444444444 Meter per Second --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

1.24444444444444 ≈ 1.244444 Meter per Second <-- Settling Velocity
