Length of Settling Zone given Surface Area of Sedimentation Tank Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Length = Cross-Sectional Area/Width
L = A_cs/w
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Length - (Measured in Meter) - The Length refers to the measurement of the distance between two points.
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.
Width - (Measured in Meter) - The Width of a sedimentation tank refers to the horizontal dimension across the tank, typically measured perpendicular to the flow of water in a rectangular tank.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Cross-Sectional Area: 28 Square Meter --> 28 Square Meter No Conversion Required
Width: 2.29 Meter --> 2.29 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

L = A_cs/w --> 28/2.29

Evaluating ... ...

L = 12.2270742358079

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

12.2270742358079 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

12.2270742358079 ≈ 12.22707 Meter <-- Length

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: these forces can be due to gravity, centrifugal acceleration, or electromagnetism.

How to Calculate Length of Settling Zone given Surface Area of Sedimentation Tank?

Length of Settling Zone given Surface Area of Sedimentation Tank calculator uses Length = Cross-Sectional Area/Width to calculate the Length, The Length of Settling Zone given Surface Area of Sedimentation Tank formula is defined as the horizontal distance along which water flows and particles settle before the clarified water exits the tank. Length is denoted by L symbol.

How to calculate Length of Settling Zone given Surface Area of Sedimentation Tank using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Length of Settling Zone given Surface Area of Sedimentation Tank, enter Cross-Sectional Area (A_cs) & Width (w) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Length of Settling Zone given Surface Area of Sedimentation Tank calculation can be explained with given input values -> 12.22707 = 28/2.29.

FAQ

What is Length of Settling Zone given Surface Area of Sedimentation Tank?

The Length of Settling Zone given Surface Area of Sedimentation Tank formula is defined as the horizontal distance along which water flows and particles settle before the clarified water exits the tank and is represented as L = A_cs/w or Length = Cross-Sectional Area/Width. 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 & The Width of a sedimentation tank refers to the horizontal dimension across the tank, typically measured perpendicular to the flow of water in a rectangular tank.

How to calculate Length of Settling Zone given Surface Area of Sedimentation Tank?

The Length of Settling Zone given Surface Area of Sedimentation Tank formula is defined as the horizontal distance along which water flows and particles settle before the clarified water exits the tank is calculated using Length = Cross-Sectional Area/Width. To calculate Length of Settling Zone given Surface Area of Sedimentation Tank, you need Cross-Sectional Area (A_cs) & Width (w). With our tool, you need to enter the respective value for Cross-Sectional Area & 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 Length?

In this formula, Length uses Cross-Sectional Area & Width. We can use 3 other way(s) to calculate the same, which is/are as follows -

Length = Discharge/(Settling Velocity*Width)
Length = (Detention Time*Discharge)/(Width*Height of Crack)
Length = (Outer Height*Discharge)/(Width*Height of Crack*Falling Speed)
