Variables Used

Specific Gravity of Sludge - Specific Gravity of Sludge is the ratio of the density of sludge to the density of standard compound.
Weight Flow Rate of Sludge Feed - (Measured in Pound per Hour) - Weight Flow Rate of Sludge Feed means the weight of sludge flowing in a given time.
Volume Flow Rate of Sludge Feed - (Measured in Gallon (US) per Min) - Volume Flow Rate of Sludge Feed is defined as the volume of sludge flowing in a given time.
Water Density - (Measured in Pound per Cubic Foot) - Water Density is mass per unit of water. The density of water is expressed in pound per cubic feet.
Percent Solids - Percent Solids refer to the ratio of the solid mass of a material present in a liquid (or semi-liquid) sample. It is expressed in decimal.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Weight Flow Rate of Sludge Feed: 3153.36 Pound per Hour --> 3153.36 Pound per Hour No Conversion Required
Volume Flow Rate of Sludge Feed: 7 Gallon (US) per Min --> 7 Gallon (US) per Min No Conversion Required
Water Density: 62.4 Pound per Cubic Foot --> 62.4 Pound per Cubic Foot No Conversion Required
Percent Solids: 0.45 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

G_s = (7.48*W_s)/(V*ρ_water*%S*60) --> (7.48*3153.36)/(7*62.4*0.45*60)

Evaluating ... ...

G_s = 1.9999943019943

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

1.9999943019943 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

1.9999943019943 ≈ 1.999994 <-- Specific Gravity of Sludge
