Surface Area of Circular Settling Tank Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Surface Area = (Peak Discharge/Surface Loading Rate)
SA = (Q_p/R)
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.
Peak Discharge - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Second) - Peak Discharge is the maximum volume flow rate passing a particular location during an event.
Surface Loading Rate - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Surface Loading Rate is the number of gallons of wastewater passing over 1 ft2 of tank per day.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Peak Discharge: 4 Cubic Meter per Second --> 4 Cubic Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Surface Loading Rate: 0.22 Meter per Second --> 0.22 Meter per Second No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

SA = (Q_p/R) --> (4/0.22)

Evaluating ... ...

SA = 18.1818181818182

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

18.1818181818182 Square Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

18.1818181818182 ≈ 18.18182 Square Meter <-- Surface Area
