Length of Grit Chamber Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Length of Grit Chamber = (Volume of Grit Chamber/(Width of Grit Chamber*Depth of Grit Chamber))
L = (V_T/(W*D))
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Length of Grit Chamber - (Measured in Meter) - The Length of Grit Chamber refers to the horizontal distance from its inlet to outlet, designed to allow grit particles to settle, typically around 10 to 20 meters.
Volume of Grit Chamber - (Measured in Cubic Meter) - The Volume of Grit Chamber refers to the total capacity of the chamber to hold wastewater and allow grit to settle, typically measured in cubic meters (m³).
Width of Grit Chamber - (Measured in Meter) - The Width of Grit Chamber refers to the horizontal distance across the chamber perpendicular to the flow direction, facilitating the settling of grit particles.
Depth of Grit Chamber - (Measured in Meter) - The Depth of Grit Chamber refers to the vertical distance from the water surface to the chamber bottom, designed to allow sedimentation of grit particles, typically measured in meters.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Volume of Grit Chamber: 45 Cubic Meter --> 45 Cubic Meter No Conversion Required
Width of Grit Chamber: 2.6 Meter --> 2.6 Meter No Conversion Required
Depth of Grit Chamber: 2.501 Meter --> 2.501 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

L = (V_T/(W*D)) --> (45/(2.6*2.501))

Evaluating ... ...

L = 6.9203087995571

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

6.9203087995571 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

6.9203087995571 ≈ 6.920309 Meter <-- Length of Grit Chamber

Width of Grit Chamber

LaTeX Go Width of Grit Chamber = (Selected Width Ratio*Depth of Grit Chamber)

Volume of Each Grit Chamber

LaTeX Go Volume of Grit Chamber = (Peak Flow Rate*Detention Time)

Peak Flow Rate given Volume of Each Grit Chamber

LaTeX Go Peak Flow Rate = Volume of Grit Chamber/Detention Time

Detention Time given Volume of Each Grit Chamber

LaTeX Go Detention Time = Volume of Grit Chamber/Peak Flow Rate

Length of Grit Chamber Formula

LaTeX Go

Length of Grit Chamber = (Volume of Grit Chamber/(Width of Grit Chamber*Depth of Grit Chamber))
L = (V_T/(W*D))

What is Grit Chamber ?

Grit chambers are long narrow tanks that are designed to slow down the flow so that solids such as sand, coffee grounds, and eggshells will settle out of the water.
