Peaking Factor using Peak Discharge in Circular Settling Tanks Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Peaking Factor = (Peak Discharge/Average Daily Load)
f = (Q_p/Q_d)
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

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.
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).

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Peak Discharge: 37.5 Million Liters per Day --> 0.434027777777778 Cubic Meter per Second (Check conversion here)
Average Daily Load: 15 Million Liters per Day --> 0.173611111111111 Cubic Meter per Second (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

f = (Q_p/Q_d) --> (0.434027777777778/0.173611111111111)

Evaluating ... ...

f = 2.5

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

2.5 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

2.5 <-- Peaking Factor
