Settling Velocity given Discharge Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Settling Velocity = (Discharge entering Basin given Settling Velocity/(Width*Length))
v_s = (Q_s/(w*L))
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Settling Velocity - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Settling Velocity is defined as the terminal velocity of a particle in still fluid.
Discharge entering Basin given Settling Velocity - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Second) - Discharge entering Basin given Settling Velocity is the volumetric flow rate of water that enters a sedimentation basin, calculated based on the settling velocity.
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 entering Basin given Settling Velocity: 10.339 Cubic Meter per Second --> 10.339 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

v_s = (Q_s/(w*L)) --> (10.339/(2.29*3.01))

Evaluating ... ...

v_s = 1.49994922311364

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

1.49994922311364 Meter per Second --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

1.49994922311364 ≈ 1.499949 Meter per Second <-- Settling Velocity

What is Settling Velocity?

The settling velocity (also referred to as the “sedimentation velocity”) is defined as the terminal velocity of a particle in still fluid.

How to Calculate Settling Velocity given Discharge?

Settling Velocity given Discharge calculator uses Settling Velocity = (Discharge entering Basin given Settling Velocity/(Width*Length)) to calculate the Settling Velocity, The Settling Velocity given Discharge formula is defined as the value of the velocity at which particles in a suspension settle out of the water under the influence of gravity, which is essential for designing and analyzing sedimentation processes. Settling Velocity is denoted by v_s symbol.

How to calculate Settling Velocity given Discharge using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Settling Velocity given Discharge, enter Discharge entering Basin given Settling Velocity (Q_s), Width (w) & Length (L) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Settling Velocity given Discharge calculation can be explained with given input values -> 1.499949 = (10.339/(2.29*3.01)).

FAQ

What is Settling Velocity given Discharge?

The Settling Velocity given Discharge formula is defined as the value of the velocity at which particles in a suspension settle out of the water under the influence of gravity, which is essential for designing and analyzing sedimentation processes and is represented as v_s = (Q_s/(w*L)) or Settling Velocity = (Discharge entering Basin given Settling Velocity/(Width*Length)). Discharge entering Basin given Settling Velocity is the volumetric flow rate of water that enters a sedimentation basin, calculated based on the settling velocity, Width is the horizontal measurement or dimension of a structure, feature, or area & Length is the measurement or extent of something from end to end.

How to calculate Settling Velocity given Discharge?
