Peak Discharge given Surface Area of Circular Settling Tank Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Peak Discharge = (Surface Area*Surface Loading Rate)
Q_p = (SA*S_l)
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Peak Discharge - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Second) - Peak Discharge is the maximum volume flow rate passing a particular location during an event.
Surface Area - (Measured in Square Meter) - Surface Area is the horizontal area available for sedimentation, impacting the tank's capacity to separate solids, typically measured in square meters (m²).
Surface Loading Rate - (Measured in Kilogram per Second Square Meter) - Surface Loading Rate is the volume of liquid applied per unit surface area of a treatment process, such as a clarifier.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Surface Area: 4 Square Meter --> 4 Square Meter No Conversion Required
Surface Loading Rate: 0.108 Kilogram per Second Square Meter --> 0.108 Kilogram per Second Square Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

Q_p = (SA*S_l) --> (4*0.108)

Evaluating ... ...

Q_p = 0.432

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.432 Cubic Meter per Second -->37.3248 Million Liters per Day (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

37.3248 Million Liters per Day <-- Peak Discharge

(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)
