Peak Discharge in Circular Settling Tanks Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Peak Discharge = Average Daily Load*Peaking Factor
Q_p = Q_d*f
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.
Average Daily Load - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Second) - Average Daily Load is the total amount of a substance, such as pollutants or nutrients, entering a system per day, averaged over a specified period, typically measured in kilograms per day (kg/day).
Peaking Factor - The Peaking Factor is the ratio of the peak flow rate to the average flow rate used to determine the tank's capacity to handle high-flow periods.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Average Daily Load: 15 Million Liters per Day --> 0.173611111111111 Cubic Meter per Second (Check conversion here)
Peaking Factor: 2.5 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

Q_p = Q_d*f --> 0.173611111111111*2.5

Evaluating ... ...

Q_p = 0.434027777777777

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.434027777777777 Cubic Meter per Second -->37.5 Million Liters per Day (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

37.5 Million Liters per Day <-- Peak Discharge

(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)
