Depth of Tank given Flow Velocity Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary
Formula Used
Depth = (Discharge in Tank/(Flow Velocity*Width))
d = (Qd/(Vf*w))
This formula uses 4 Variables
Variables Used
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 in Tank - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Second) - Discharge in Tank is the volumetric flow rate of water that is transported through a given cross-sectional area. It includes any suspended solids, dissolved chemicals, or biologic material.
Flow Velocity - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Flow Velocity is the velocity of the flow of any fluid.
Width - (Measured in Meter) - Width is the horizontal measurement or dimension of a structure, feature, or area.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Discharge in Tank: 8.2 Cubic Meter per Second --> 8.2 Cubic Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Flow Velocity: 1.12 Meter per Second --> 1.12 Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Width: 2.29 Meter --> 2.29 Meter No Conversion Required
STEP 2: Evaluate Formula
Substituting Input Values in Formula
d = (Qd/(Vf*w)) --> (8.2/(1.12*2.29))
Evaluating ... ...
d = 3.19713038053649
STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit
3.19713038053649 Meter --> No Conversion Required
FINAL ANSWER
3.19713038053649 3.19713 Meter <-- Depth

Depth of Tank given Flow Velocity Formula

​LaTeX ​Go
Depth = (Discharge in Tank/(Flow Velocity*Width))
d = (Qd/(Vf*w))

What does discharge means?

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 Depth of Tank given Flow Velocity?

Depth of Tank given Flow Velocity calculator uses Depth = (Discharge in Tank/(Flow Velocity*Width)) to calculate the Depth, The Depth of Tank given Flow Velocity formula is defined as the value of the required depth of a tank, such as a sedimentation tank or a reactor, based on the flow velocity. Depth is denoted by d symbol.

How to calculate Depth of Tank given Flow Velocity using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Depth of Tank given Flow Velocity, enter Discharge in Tank (Qd), Flow Velocity (Vf) & Width (w) and hit the calculate button.

FAQ

What is Depth of Tank given Flow Velocity?
The Depth of Tank given Flow Velocity formula is defined as the value of the required depth of a tank, such as a sedimentation tank or a reactor, based on the flow velocity and is represented as d = (Qd/(Vf*w)) or Depth = (Discharge in Tank/(Flow Velocity*Width)). Discharge in Tank is the volumetric flow rate of water that is transported through a given cross-sectional area. It includes any suspended solids, dissolved chemicals, or biologic material, Flow Velocity is the velocity of the flow of any fluid & Width is the horizontal measurement or dimension of a structure, feature, or area.
How to calculate Depth of Tank given Flow Velocity?
The Depth of Tank given Flow Velocity formula is defined as the value of the required depth of a tank, such as a sedimentation tank or a reactor, based on the flow velocity is calculated using Depth = (Discharge in Tank/(Flow Velocity*Width)). To calculate Depth of Tank given Flow Velocity, you need Discharge in Tank (Qd), Flow Velocity (Vf) & Width (w). With our tool, you need to enter the respective value for Discharge in Tank, Flow Velocity & Width 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 Depth?
In this formula, Depth uses Discharge in Tank, Flow Velocity & Width. We can use 2 other way(s) to calculate the same, which is/are as follows -
  • Depth = (Length*Settling Velocity)/Flow Velocity
  • Depth = (Detention Time*Discharge)/(Length*Width)
