Length of Settling Zone given Vertical Falling Speed in Sedimentation Tank Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Length = Discharge/(Settling Velocity*Width)
L = Q/(V_s*w)
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Length - (Measured in Meter) - The Length refers to the measurement of the distance between two points.
Discharge - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Second) - The Discharge refers to the volume of fluid (usually water) that flows through a given cross-sectional area per unit of time.
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.
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

Discharge: 1.01 Cubic Meter per Second --> 1.01 Cubic Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Settling Velocity: 0.03 Meter per Second --> 0.03 Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Width: 2.29 Meter --> 2.29 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

L = Q/(V_s*w) --> 1.01/(0.03*2.29)

Evaluating ... ...

L = 14.7016011644833

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

14.7016011644833 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

14.7016011644833 ≈ 14.7016 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 Vertical Falling Speed in Sedimentation Tank?

Length of Settling Zone given Vertical Falling Speed in Sedimentation Tank calculator uses Length = Discharge/(Settling Velocity*Width) to calculate the Length, The Length of Settling Zone given Vertical Falling Speed in 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 Vertical Falling Speed in Sedimentation Tank using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Length of Settling Zone given Vertical Falling Speed in Sedimentation Tank, enter Discharge (Q), Settling Velocity (V_s) & Width (w) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Length of Settling Zone given Vertical Falling Speed in Sedimentation Tank calculation can be explained with given input values -> 14.7016 = 1.01/(0.03*2.29).

FAQ

What is Length of Settling Zone given Vertical Falling Speed in Sedimentation Tank?

The Length of Settling Zone given Vertical Falling Speed in 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 = Q/(V_s*w) or Length = Discharge/(Settling Velocity*Width). The Discharge refers to the volume of fluid (usually water) that flows through a given cross-sectional area per unit of time, 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 & 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 Vertical Falling Speed in Sedimentation Tank?

The Length of Settling Zone given Vertical Falling Speed in 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 = Discharge/(Settling Velocity*Width). To calculate Length of Settling Zone given Vertical Falling Speed in Sedimentation Tank, you need Discharge (Q), Settling Velocity (V_s) & Width (w). With our tool, you need to enter the respective value for Discharge, Settling Velocity & Width and hit the calculate button. You can also select the units (if any) for Input(s) and the Output as well.
