Width of Tank given Overflow Rate Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Width = (Discharge/(Overflow Rate*Length))
w = (Q/(SOR*L))
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Width - (Measured in Meter) - Width is the measurement or extent of something from side to side.
Discharge - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Second) - Discharge is the rate of flow of a liquid.
Overflow Rate - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Overflow rate is often used for flow over an edge (for example a weir).
Length - (Measured in Meter) - Length is the measurement or extent of something from end to end.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Discharge: 1.01 Cubic Meter per Second --> 1.01 Cubic Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Overflow Rate: 1.2 Meter per Second --> 1.2 Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Length: 3 Meter --> 3 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

w = (Q/(SOR*L)) --> (1.01/(1.2*3))

Evaluating ... ...

w = 0.280555555555556

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.280555555555556 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.280555555555556 ≈ 0.280556 Meter <-- Width

< 6 Width of Tank Calculators

Width of Tank given Height to Length Ratio

Go Width = (Discharge/(Settling Velocity*Depth))*(Ratio of height to length)

Width of Tank given Detention Time

Go Width = Detention time/((Length*Depth)/Discharge)

Width of Tank given Settling Velocity of Particular Sized Particle

Go Width = (70*Discharge)/(100*Length*Settling Velocity)

Width of Tank given Settling Velocity

Go Width = (Discharge/(Settling Velocity*Length))

Width of Tank given Overflow Rate

Go Width = (Discharge/(Overflow Rate*Length))

Width of Tank given Flow Velocity

Go Width = (Discharge/(Flow Velocity*Depth))

Width of Tank given Overflow Rate Formula

Width = (Discharge/(Overflow Rate*Length))
w = (Q/(SOR*L))

What is overflow rate ?

Overflow rate is an empirical parameter describing the settling characteristics of solids in a specific wastewater. Overflow rate is defined as the volume of water flow per unit of time divided by the surface area of the settling basin.

How to Calculate Width of Tank given Overflow Rate?

Width of Tank given Overflow Rate calculator uses Width = (Discharge/(Overflow Rate*Length)) to calculate the Width, Width of Tank given Overflow Rate calculates width of tank when we have prior information of other parameters used. Width is denoted by w symbol.

How to calculate Width of Tank given Overflow Rate using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Width of Tank given Overflow Rate, enter Discharge (Q), Overflow Rate (SOR) & Length (L) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Width of Tank given Overflow Rate calculation can be explained with given input values -> 0.277778 = (discharge/(1.2*3)).

FAQ

What is Width of Tank given Overflow Rate?

Width of Tank given Overflow Rate calculates width of tank when we have prior information of other parameters used and is represented as w = (Q/(SOR*L)) or Width = (Discharge/(Overflow Rate*Length)). Discharge is the rate of flow of a liquid, Overflow rate is often used for flow over an edge (for example a weir) & Length is the measurement or extent of something from end to end.

How to calculate Width of Tank given Overflow Rate?
