Total Settling Tank Surface Area given Actual Solid Loading Rate Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Surface Area = Solid Processed/Solid Loading Rate
SA = P_s/A_Q
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.
Solid Processed - (Measured in Kilogram per Second) - Solid processed is defined in terms of mass flow rate.
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

Solid Processed: 3.01 Kilogram per Day --> 3.4837962962963E-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 = P_s/A_Q --> 3.4837962962963E-05/1.96759259259259E-06

Evaluating ... ...

SA = 17.7058823529412

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

17.7058823529412 Square Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

17.7058823529412 ≈ 17.70588 Square Meter <-- Surface Area
