Specific Retention Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary
Formula Used
Specific Retention = (Volume of water Retained/Total Volume of Soil or Rock Sample)*100
%Sr = (Vr/Vt)*100
This formula uses 3 Variables
Variables Used
Specific Retention - Specific Retention (in %) tells how much water remains in the rock after it is drained by gravity.
Volume of water Retained - (Measured in Cubic Meter) - Volume of Water Retained in total volume of soil or rock sample is when the Soils can process and hold considerable amounts of water.
Total Volume of Soil or Rock Sample - (Measured in Cubic Meter) - Total Volume of Soil or Rock Sample is the combined volume of solids and pores which may contain volume of air or volume of water, or both.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Volume of water Retained: 5 Cubic Meter --> 5 Cubic Meter No Conversion Required
Total Volume of Soil or Rock Sample: 50 Cubic Meter --> 50 Cubic Meter No Conversion Required
STEP 2: Evaluate Formula
Substituting Input Values in Formula
%Sr = (Vr/Vt)*100 --> (5/50)*100
Evaluating ... ...
%Sr = 10
STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit
10 --> No Conversion Required
FINAL ANSWER
10 <-- Specific Retention
(Calculation completed in 00.020 seconds)

3 Specific Retention Calculators

Total Volume of Soil or Rock Sample given Specific Retention
Go Total Volume of Soil or Rock Sample = (Volume of water Retained/Specific Retention)*100
Volume of Water Retained in Total Volume Soil or Rock Sample
Go Volume of water Retained = (Total Volume of Soil or Rock Sample*Specific Retention)/100
Specific Retention
Go Specific Retention = (Volume of water Retained/Total Volume of Soil or Rock Sample)*100

Specific Retention Formula

Specific Retention = (Volume of water Retained/Total Volume of Soil or Rock Sample)*100
%Sr = (Vr/Vt)*100

What is Specific Retention?

Specific Retention is that volume fraction of water that is held back by adhesion and capillary forces, when an aquifer is drained.

How to Calculate Specific Retention?

Specific Retention calculator uses Specific Retention = (Volume of water Retained/Total Volume of Soil or Rock Sample)*100 to calculate the Specific Retention, The Specific Retention is defines how water remains in the rock after it is drained by gravity. It is usually expressed as a percentage. Specific Retention is denoted by %Sr symbol.

How to calculate Specific Retention using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Specific Retention, enter Volume of water Retained (Vr) & Total Volume of Soil or Rock Sample (Vt) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Specific Retention calculation can be explained with given input values -> 10 = (5/50)*100.

FAQ

What is Specific Retention?
The Specific Retention is defines how water remains in the rock after it is drained by gravity. It is usually expressed as a percentage and is represented as %Sr = (Vr/Vt)*100 or Specific Retention = (Volume of water Retained/Total Volume of Soil or Rock Sample)*100. Volume of Water Retained in total volume of soil or rock sample is when the Soils can process and hold considerable amounts of water & Total Volume of Soil or Rock Sample is the combined volume of solids and pores which may contain volume of air or volume of water, or both.
