Overflow Rate given Discharge Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

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

Variables Used

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

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Discharge: 3 Cubic Meter per Second --> 3 Cubic Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Width: 2.29 Meter --> 2.29 Meter No Conversion Required
Length: 3.01 Meter --> 3.01 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

SOR = Q/(w*L) --> 3/(2.29*3.01)

Evaluating ... ...

SOR = 0.435230454525671

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.435230454525671 Meter per Second --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.435230454525671 ≈ 0.43523 Meter per Second <-- Overflow Rate

(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)

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. It is usually expressed as a velocity in feet per second.

How to Calculate Overflow Rate given Discharge?

Overflow Rate given Discharge calculator uses Overflow Rate = Discharge/(Width*Length) to calculate the Overflow Rate, The Overflow Rate given Discharge formula is defined as the empirical parameter describing settling characteristics of solids in specific wastewater. Overflow Rate is denoted by SOR symbol.

How to calculate Overflow Rate given Discharge using this online calculator?
