Constant used in Flood Discharge by Dicken's Formula Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Dicken's Constant = (Flood Discharge by Dicken's Formula/(Catchment Area for Flood Discharge)^(3/4))
C_D = (Q_D/(A_km)^(3/4))
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Dicken's Constant - Dicken's Constant refers to an empirical coefficient used in Dicken's formula to estimate peak flood discharge based on the area of the catchment, typically ranging from 11 to 14 in India.
Flood Discharge by Dicken's Formula - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Second) - Flood Discharge by Dicken's Formula refers to the volume of water flowing through a river or stream during a flood, typically measured in (m³/s) or (cfs).
Catchment Area for Flood Discharge - (Measured in Square Meter) - Catchment Area for Flood Discharge refers to an area of land where all water flows to a single stream, river, lake or even ocean, typically in km unit.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Flood Discharge by Dicken's Formula: 695125.6 Cubic Meter per Second --> 695125.6 Cubic Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Catchment Area for Flood Discharge: 2.4 Square Kilometer --> 2400000 Square Meter (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

C_D = (Q_D/(A_km)^(3/4)) --> (695125.6/(2400000)^(3/4))

Evaluating ... ...

C_D = 11.4000000086015

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

11.4000000086015 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

11.4000000086015 ≈ 11.4 <-- Dicken's Constant
