STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Reactor Volume: 1000 Cubic Meter --> 1000 Cubic Meter No Conversion Required
MLVSS: 2500 Milligram per Liter --> 2.5 Kilogram per Cubic Meter (Check conversion here)
Average Daily Influent Flow Rate: 1.2 Cubic Meter per Day --> 1.2 Cubic Meter per Day No Conversion Required
Maximum Yield Coefficient: 0.5 --> No Conversion Required
Influent Substrate Concentration: 25 Milligram per Liter --> 0.025 Kilogram per Cubic Meter (Check conversion here)
Effluent Substrate Concentration: 15 Milligram per Liter --> 0.015 Kilogram per Cubic Meter (Check conversion here)
Endogenous Decay Coefficient: 0.05 1 Per Day --> 5.78703703703704E-07 1 Per Second (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

θ_c = (V*X_a)/(Q_a*Y*(S_o-S)-(V*X_a*k_d)) --> (1000*2.5)/(1.2*0.5*(0.025-0.015)-(1000*2.5*5.78703703703704E-07))

Evaluating ... ...
