Discharge Rate given Vertical Falling Speed in Sedimentation Tank Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Discharge = Settling Velocity*Length*Width
Q = V_s*L*w
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Discharge - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Second) - The Discharge refers to the volume of fluid (usually water) that flows through a given cross-sectional area per unit of time.
Settling Velocity - (Measured in Meter per Second) - The Settling Velocity refers to the rate at which a particle suspended in a fluid (like water or air) falls under the influence of gravity until reaches a constant speed.
Length - (Measured in Meter) - The Length refers to the measurement of the distance between two points.
Width - (Measured in Meter) - The Width of a sedimentation tank refers to the horizontal dimension across the tank, typically measured perpendicular to the flow of water in a rectangular tank.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Settling Velocity: 1.5 Meter per Second --> 1.5 Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Length: 5 Meter --> 5 Meter No Conversion Required
Width: 2.29 Meter --> 2.29 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

Q = V_s*L*w --> 1.5*5*2.29

Evaluating ... ...

Q = 17.175

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

17.175 Cubic Meter per Second --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

17.175 Cubic Meter per Second <-- Discharge

(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)

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.
