Plan Area given Settling Velocity Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Base Surface Area = Discharge/Settling Velocity
SA_Base = Q/v_s
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Base Surface Area - (Measured in Square Meter) - Base Surface Area is the total area of the base or bottom surface of a sedimentation tank.
Discharge - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Second) - Discharge is the rate of flow of a liquid.
Settling Velocity - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Settling Velocity is defined as the terminal velocity of a particle in still fluid.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Discharge: 3 Cubic Meter per Second --> 3 Cubic Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Settling Velocity: 1.5 Meter per Second --> 1.5 Meter per Second No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

SA_Base = Q/v_s --> 3/1.5

Evaluating ... ...

SA_Base = 2

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

2 Square Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

2 Square Meter <-- Base Surface Area

(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)
