Detention Period or Aeration Period Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Detention Time = Volume of Tank/Rate of Flow
T_d = V_d/q_d
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Detention Time - (Measured in Second) - Detention time is the length of time water is retained in a vessel or basin.
Volume of Tank - (Measured in Cubic Meter) - Volume of Tank is defined as the capacity of flocculation and mixing tank, considering days of detention period.
Rate of Flow - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Second) - Rate of Flow is the rate at which a liquid or other substance flows through a particular channel, considering days of detention period.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Volume of Tank: 19 Cubic Meter --> 19 Cubic Meter No Conversion Required
Rate of Flow: 0.001 Cubic Meter per Second --> 0.001 Cubic Meter per Second No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

T_d = V_d/q_d --> 19/0.001

Evaluating ... ...

T_d = 19000

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

19000 Second -->316.666666666667 Minute (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

316.666666666667 ≈ 316.6667 Minute <-- Detention Time

(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)
