Detention Time given Discharge Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

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

Variables Used

Detention Time - (Measured in Second) - Detention Time is the length of time the water is retained in a vessel or basin.
Width - (Measured in Meter) - Width is the horizontal measurement or dimension of a structure, feature, or area.
Length - (Measured in Meter) - Length is the measurement or extent of something from end to end.
Depth - (Measured in Meter) - Depth is the vertical distance from the surface of a reference point, such as the ground or water surface, to a specific point or feature below.
Discharge - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Second) - Discharge is the rate of flow of a liquid.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Width: 2.29 Meter --> 2.29 Meter No Conversion Required
Length: 3.01 Meter --> 3.01 Meter No Conversion Required
Depth: 3 Meter --> 3 Meter No Conversion Required
Discharge: 3 Cubic Meter per Second --> 3 Cubic Meter per Second No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

T_d = ((w*L*d)/Q) --> ((2.29*3.01*3)/3)

Evaluating ... ...

T_d = 6.8929

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

6.8929 Second --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

6.8929 Second <-- Detention Time

(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)

Overflow Rate given Discharge

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

Cross-section Area of Tank with known Velocity of Flow of Water

LaTeX Go Cross-Sectional Area = Discharge/Velocity of Flow of Water

Rate of Flow given Detention Time

LaTeX Go Rate of Flow = (Volume of Tank/Detention Time)

Volume of Tank given Detention Time

LaTeX Go Volume of Tank = Detention Time*Rate of Flow

Detention Time given Discharge Formula

LaTeX Go

Detention Time = ((Width*Length*Depth)/Discharge)
T_d = ((w*L*d)/Q)

What is Discharge?

The amount of fluid passing a section of a stream in unit time is called the discharge. If v is the mean velocity and A is the cross sectional area, the discharge Q is defined by Q = Av which is known as volume flow rate.

How to Calculate Detention Time given Discharge?

Detention Time given Discharge calculator uses Detention Time = ((Width*Length*Depth)/Discharge) to calculate the Detention Time, The Detention Time given Discharge formula is defined as theoretical time required for given amount of water or wastewater to pass through tank at given rate of flow. Detention Time is denoted by T_d symbol.

How to calculate Detention Time given Discharge using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Detention Time given Discharge, enter Width (w), Length (L), Depth (d) & Discharge (Q) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Detention Time given Discharge calculation can be explained with given input values -> 0.001915 = ((2.29*3.01*3)/3).

FAQ

What is Detention Time given Discharge?

The Detention Time given Discharge formula is defined as theoretical time required for given amount of water or wastewater to pass through tank at given rate of flow and is represented as T_d = ((w*L*d)/Q) or Detention Time = ((Width*Length*Depth)/Discharge). Width is the horizontal measurement or dimension of a structure, feature, or area, Length is the measurement or extent of something from end to end, Depth is the vertical distance from the surface of a reference point, such as the ground or water surface, to a specific point or feature below & Discharge is the rate of flow of a liquid.

How to calculate Detention Time given Discharge?

The Detention Time given Discharge formula is defined as theoretical time required for given amount of water or wastewater to pass through tank at given rate of flow is calculated using Detention Time = ((Width*Length*Depth)/Discharge). To calculate Detention Time given Discharge, you need Width (w), Length (L), Depth (d) & Discharge (Q). With our tool, you need to enter the respective value for Width, 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 Detention Time?

In this formula, Detention Time uses Width, Length, Depth & Discharge. We can use 2 other way(s) to calculate the same, which is/are as follows -

Detention Time = Volume of Tank/Discharge in Tank
Detention Time = ((Diameter)^2)*(((0.011*Diameter)+(0.785*Depth))/Discharge in Tank)
