Width of Tank given Vertical Falling Speed in Sedimentation Tank Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Width = Discharge/(Settling Velocity*Length)
w = Q/(v_s*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.
Settling Velocity - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Settling velocity is defined as the terminal velocity of a particle in still fluid.
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
Settling Velocity: 1.5 Meter per Second --> 1.5 Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Length: 5 Meter --> 5 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

w = Q/(v_s*L) --> 1.01/(1.5*5)

Evaluating ... ...

w = 0.134666666666667

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.134666666666667 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.134666666666667 ≈ 0.134667 Meter <-- Width

Vertical Falling Speed given Height at Outlet Zone with respect to Discharge

Go Falling Speed = Outer Height*Discharge/(Length*Width*Height of Crack)

Vertical Falling Speed given Height at Outlet Zone with respect to Settling Velocity

Go Falling Speed = Outer Height*Settling Velocity/Height of Crack

Width of Tank given Vertical Falling Speed in Sedimentation Tank

Go Width = Discharge/(Settling Velocity*Length)

Vertical Falling Speed in Sedimentation Tank

Go Settling Velocity = Discharge/(Length*Width)

Width of Tank given Vertical Falling Speed in Sedimentation Tank Formula

Width = Discharge/(Settling Velocity*Length)
w = Q/(v_s*L)

What is sedimentation?

Sedimentation is the tendency for particles in suspension to settle out of the fluid in which they are entrained and come to rest against a barrier. This is due to their motion through the fluid in response to the forces acting on them: these forces can be due to gravity, centrifugal acceleration, or electromagnetism.

How to Calculate Width of Tank given Vertical Falling Speed in Sedimentation Tank?

Width of Tank given Vertical Falling Speed in Sedimentation Tank calculator uses Width = Discharge/(Settling Velocity*Length) to calculate the Width, The Width of Tank given Vertical Falling Speed in Sedimentation Tank is defined as the horizontal measurement taken at right angles to length. Width is denoted by w symbol.

How to calculate Width of Tank given Vertical Falling Speed in Sedimentation Tank using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Width of Tank given Vertical Falling Speed in Sedimentation Tank, enter Discharge (Q), Settling Velocity (v_s) & Length (L) and hit the calculate button.
