Characteristic Length for Lumped System Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Characteristic Length = (Volume)/(Area)
L_char = (V_T)/(A)
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Characteristic Length - (Measured in Meter) - Characteristic Length is the ratio of volume and the area.
Volume - (Measured in Cubic Meter) - Volume is the amount of space that a substance or object occupies or that is enclosed within a container.
Area - (Measured in Square Meter) - The area is the amount of two-dimensional space taken up by an object.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Volume: 0.63 Cubic Meter --> 0.63 Cubic Meter No Conversion Required
Area: 50 Square Meter --> 50 Square Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

L_char = (V_T)/(A) --> (0.63)/(50)

Evaluating ... ...

L_char = 0.0126

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.0126 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.0126 Meter <-- Characteristic Length

(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)
