Falling Speed given Surface Area with respect to Settling Velocity Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary
Formula Used
Falling Speed = Settling Velocity*Area/Cross-Sectional Area
v' = Vs*A/Acs
This formula uses 4 Variables
Variables Used
Falling Speed - (Measured in Meter per Second) - The Falling Speed refers to the constant speed at which a particle falls through a fluid when the force of gravity is balanced by the drag force and buoyant force acting on the particle.
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.
Area - (Measured in Square Meter) - The Area of a sedimentation tank refers to the surface area of the tank where sedimentation, or the settling of suspended particles, occurs.
Cross-Sectional Area - (Measured in Square Meter) - The Cross-Sectional Area of a sedimentation tank refers to the vertical slice of the tank, typically viewed from the side, that shows the depth and width.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Settling Velocity: 1.5 Meter per Second --> 1.5 Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Area: 50 Square Meter --> 50 Square Meter No Conversion Required
Cross-Sectional Area: 13 Square Meter --> 13 Square Meter No Conversion Required
STEP 2: Evaluate Formula
Substituting Input Values in Formula
v' = Vs*A/Acs --> 1.5*50/13
Evaluating ... ...
v' = 5.76923076923077
STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit
5.76923076923077 Meter per Second --> No Conversion Required
FINAL ANSWER
5.76923076923077 5.769231 Meter per Second <-- Falling Speed
(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.

How to Calculate Falling Speed given Surface Area with respect to Settling Velocity?

Falling Speed given Surface Area with respect to Settling Velocity calculator uses Falling Speed = Settling Velocity*Area/Cross-Sectional Area to calculate the Falling Speed, The Falling Speed given Surface Area with respect to Settling Velocity formula is defined as particle reach its terminal velocity, where gravitational force works downwards and buoyancy and viscous force work to dim particles falling.
