Width of Tank given Detention Time Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Width = Detention time/((Length*Depth)/Discharge)
w = T_d/((L*D)/Q)
This formula uses 5 Variables

Variables Used

Width - (Measured in Meter) - Width is the measurement or extent of something from side to side.
Detention time - (Measured in Second) - Detention time is the length of time water is retained in a vessel or basin.
Length - (Measured in Meter) - Length is the measurement or extent of something from end to end.
Depth - (Measured in Meter) - Depth is the distance from the top or surface to the bottom of something.
Discharge - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Second) - Discharge is the rate of flow of a liquid.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Detention time: 3 Minute --> 180 Second (Check conversion here)
Length: 3 Meter --> 3 Meter No Conversion Required
Depth: 3 Meter --> 3 Meter No Conversion Required
Discharge: 1.01 Cubic Meter per Second --> 1.01 Cubic Meter per Second No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

w = T_d/((L*D)/Q) --> 180/((3*3)/1.01)

Evaluating ... ...

w = 20.2

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

20.2 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

20.2 Meter <-- Width

(Calculation completed in 00.020 seconds)

< 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 Detention Time Formula

Width = Detention time/((Length*Depth)/Discharge)
w = T_d/((L*D)/Q)

What is detention time ?

The theoretical (calculated) time required for a given amount of water or wastewater to pass through a tank at a given rate of flow.

How to Calculate Width of Tank given Detention Time?

Width of Tank given Detention Time calculator uses Width = Detention time/((Length*Depth)/Discharge) to calculate the Width, Width of Tank given Detention Time 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 Detention Time using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Width of Tank given Detention Time, enter Detention time (T_d), Length (L), Depth (D) & Discharge (Q) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Width of Tank given Detention Time calculation can be explained with given input values -> 20 = 180/((3*3)/discharge).

FAQ

What is Width of Tank given Detention Time?

Width of Tank given Detention Time calculates width of tank when we have prior information of other parameters used and is represented as w = T_d/((L*D)/Q) or Width = Detention time/((Length*Depth)/Discharge). Detention time is the length of time water is retained in a vessel or basin, Length is the measurement or extent of something from end to end, Depth is the distance from the top or surface to the bottom of something & Discharge is the rate of flow of a liquid.

How to calculate Width of Tank given Detention Time?

Width of Tank given Detention Time calculates width of tank when we have prior information of other parameters used is calculated using Width = Detention time/((Length*Depth)/Discharge). To calculate Width of Tank given Detention Time, you need Detention time (T_d), Length (L), Depth (D) & Discharge (Q). With our tool, you need to enter the respective value for Detention time, Length, Depth & Discharge and hit the calculate button. You can also select the units (if any) for Input(s) and the Output as well.

How many ways are there to calculate Width?

In this formula, Width uses Detention time, Length, Depth & Discharge. We can use 5 other way(s) to calculate the same, which is/are as follows -

Width = (Discharge/(Flow Velocity*Depth))
Width = (Discharge/(Settling Velocity*Length))
Width = (Discharge/(Settling Velocity*Depth))*(Ratio of height to length)
Width = (Discharge/(Overflow Rate*Length))
Width = (70*Discharge)/(100*Length*Settling Velocity)
