Length of Tank given Overflow Rate Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Length = (Discharge/(Overflow Rate*Width))
L = (Q/(SOR*w))
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Length - (Measured in Meter) - Length is the measurement or extent of something from end to end.
Discharge - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Second) - Discharge is the rate of flow of a liquid.
Overflow Rate - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Overflow Rate is the flow rate of water per unit surface area of the tank.
Width - (Measured in Meter) - Width is the horizontal measurement or dimension of a structure, feature, or area.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Discharge: 3 Cubic Meter per Second --> 3 Cubic Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Overflow Rate: 0.4352 Meter per Second --> 0.4352 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/(SOR*w)) --> (3/(0.4352*2.29))

Evaluating ... ...

L = 3.01021063447213

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

3.01021063447213 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

3.01021063447213 ≈ 3.010211 Meter <-- Length

What is Overflow Rate?

Overflow rate is an empirical parameter describing the settling characteristics of solids in a specific wastewater. Overflow rate is defined as the volume of water flow per unit of time divided by the surface area of the settling basin.

How to Calculate Length of Tank given Overflow Rate?

Length of Tank given Overflow Rate calculator uses Length = (Discharge/(Overflow Rate*Width)) to calculate the Length, The Length of Tank given Overflow Rate formula is defined as the length dimension of a tank required to manage a specific overflow rate. This is important in the design of tanks used for storage and treatment of fluids, such as water or wastewater. Length is denoted by L symbol.

How to calculate Length of Tank given Overflow Rate using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Length of Tank given Overflow Rate, enter Discharge (Q), Overflow Rate (SOR) & Width (w) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Length of Tank given Overflow Rate calculation can be explained with given input values -> 1.091703 = (3/(0.4352*2.29)).

FAQ

What is Length of Tank given Overflow Rate?

The Length of Tank given Overflow Rate formula is defined as the length dimension of a tank required to manage a specific overflow rate. This is important in the design of tanks used for storage and treatment of fluids, such as water or wastewater and is represented as L = (Q/(SOR*w)) or Length = (Discharge/(Overflow Rate*Width)). Discharge is the rate of flow of a liquid, Overflow Rate is the flow rate of water per unit surface area of the tank & Width is the horizontal measurement or dimension of a structure, feature, or area.

How to calculate Length of Tank given Overflow Rate?

The Length of Tank given Overflow Rate formula is defined as the length dimension of a tank required to manage a specific overflow rate. This is important in the design of tanks used for storage and treatment of fluids, such as water or wastewater is calculated using Length = (Discharge/(Overflow Rate*Width)). To calculate Length of Tank given Overflow Rate, you need Discharge (Q), Overflow Rate (SOR) & Width (w). With our tool, you need to enter the respective value for Discharge, Overflow Rate & 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 Discharge, Overflow Rate & Width. We can use 2 other way(s) to calculate the same, which is/are as follows -

Length = (Flow Velocity*Depth)/Settling Velocity
Length = (Detention Time*Discharge)/(Width*Depth)
