Surface Area given Solid Loading Rate Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary
Formula Used
Surface Area = Maximum Solids/Solid Loading Rate
SA = S/AQ
This formula uses 3 Variables
Variables Used
Surface Area - (Measured in Square Meter) - The Surface Area of a three-dimensional shape is the sum of all of the surface areas of each of the sides.
Maximum Solids - (Measured in Kilogram per Second) - Maximum Solids entering the clarifier in circular settling tank.
Solid Loading Rate - (Measured in Kilogram per Second Square Meter) - Solid Loading Rate is the rate at which solid is loaded in a given surface area as mass flow rate.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Maximum Solids: 3 Kilogram per Day --> 3.47222222222222E-05 Kilogram per Second (Check conversion here)
Solid Loading Rate: 0.17 kilogram per Day Square Meter --> 1.96759259259259E-06 Kilogram per Second Square Meter (Check conversion here)
STEP 2: Evaluate Formula
Substituting Input Values in Formula
SA = S/AQ --> 3.47222222222222E-05/1.96759259259259E-06
Evaluating ... ...
SA = 17.6470588235294
STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit
17.6470588235294 Square Meter --> No Conversion Required
FINAL ANSWER
17.6470588235294 17.64706 Square Meter <-- Surface Area
(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)
