Inlet Time given Total Time of Concentration Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Inlet Time = Time of Concentration-Channel Flow Time
T_i = t_c-T_m/f
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Inlet Time - (Measured in Second) - Inlet Time is the time taken by water to flow overland.
Time of Concentration - (Measured in Second) - Time of Concentration is a concept used in hydrology to measure the response of a watershed to a rain event.
Channel Flow Time - (Measured in Second) - Channel Flow Time is the time taken for water to travel from the most distant point in a watershed to a specific outlet or point of interest within a channel or drainage system.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Time of Concentration: 114.22 Minute --> 6853.2 Second (Check conversion here)
Channel Flow Time: 19.44 Minute --> 1166.4 Second (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

T_i = t_c-T_m/f --> 6853.2-1166.4

Evaluating ... ...

T_i = 5686.8

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

5686.8 Second -->94.78 Minute (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

94.78 Minute <-- Inlet Time

(Calculation completed in 00.005 seconds)

What is Inlet Time?

Inlet Time required for the rain in falling on the most remote point of the tributary area to flow across the ground surface along the natural drains or gutters up to inlet of sewer.

How to Calculate Inlet Time given Total Time of Concentration?

Inlet Time given Total Time of Concentration calculator uses Inlet Time = Time of Concentration-Channel Flow Time to calculate the Inlet Time, The Inlet Time given Total Time of Concentration is defined as The time required for the rain in falling on the most remote point of the tributary area. Inlet Time is denoted by T_i symbol.

How to calculate Inlet Time given Total Time of Concentration using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Inlet Time given Total Time of Concentration, enter Time of Concentration (t_c) & Channel Flow Time (T_m/f) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Inlet Time given Total Time of Concentration calculation can be explained with given input values -> 1.877 = 6853.2-1166.4.

FAQ

What is Inlet Time given Total Time of Concentration?

The Inlet Time given Total Time of Concentration is defined as The time required for the rain in falling on the most remote point of the tributary area and is represented as T_i = t_c-T_m/f or Inlet Time = Time of Concentration-Channel Flow Time. Time of Concentration is a concept used in hydrology to measure the response of a watershed to a rain event & Channel Flow Time is the time taken for water to travel from the most distant point in a watershed to a specific outlet or point of interest within a channel or drainage system.

How to calculate Inlet Time given Total Time of Concentration?

The Inlet Time given Total Time of Concentration is defined as The time required for the rain in falling on the most remote point of the tributary area is calculated using Inlet Time = Time of Concentration-Channel Flow Time. To calculate Inlet Time given Total Time of Concentration, you need Time of Concentration (t_c) & Channel Flow Time (T_m/f). With our tool, you need to enter the respective value for Time of Concentration & Channel Flow Time and hit the calculate button. You can also select the units (if any) for Input(s) and the Output as well.
