Settling Velocity given Plan Area Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Settling Velocity = (Discharge/Base Surface Area)
v_s = (Q/SA_Base)
This formula uses 3 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 - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Second) - Discharge is the rate of flow of a liquid.
Base Surface Area - (Measured in Square Meter) - Base Surface Area is the total area of the base or bottom surface of a sedimentation tank.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Discharge: 3 Cubic Meter per Second --> 3 Cubic Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Base Surface Area: 2 Square Meter --> 2 Square Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

v_s = (Q/SA_Base) --> (3/2)

Evaluating ... ...

v_s = 1.5

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

1.5 Meter per Second --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

1.5 Meter per Second <-- Settling Velocity

(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)

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 Plan Area?

Settling Velocity given Plan Area calculator uses Settling Velocity = (Discharge/Base Surface Area) to calculate the Settling Velocity, The Settling Velocity given Plan Area formula is defined as the value of the velocity at which particles settle in a quiescent fluid. It is a measure of how quickly particles fall to the bottom of a tank or other settling basin, considering the plan area. Settling Velocity is denoted by v_s symbol.

How to calculate Settling Velocity given Plan Area using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Settling Velocity given Plan Area, enter Discharge (Q) & Base Surface Area (SA_Base) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Settling Velocity given Plan Area calculation can be explained with given input values -> 0.6 = (3/2).

FAQ

What is Settling Velocity given Plan Area?

The Settling Velocity given Plan Area formula is defined as the value of the velocity at which particles settle in a quiescent fluid. It is a measure of how quickly particles fall to the bottom of a tank or other settling basin, considering the plan area and is represented as v_s = (Q/SA_Base) or Settling Velocity = (Discharge/Base Surface Area). Discharge is the rate of flow of a liquid & Base Surface Area is the total area of the base or bottom surface of a sedimentation tank.

How to calculate Settling Velocity given Plan Area?

The Settling Velocity given Plan Area formula is defined as the value of the velocity at which particles settle in a quiescent fluid. It is a measure of how quickly particles fall to the bottom of a tank or other settling basin, considering the plan area is calculated using Settling Velocity = (Discharge/Base Surface Area). To calculate Settling Velocity given Plan Area, you need Discharge (Q) & Base Surface Area (SA_Base). With our tool, you need to enter the respective value for Discharge & Base Surface Area and hit the calculate button. You can also select the units (if any) for Input(s) and the Output as well.

How many ways are there to calculate Settling Velocity?

In this formula, Settling Velocity uses Discharge & Base Surface Area. We can use 3 other way(s) to calculate the same, which is/are as follows -

Settling Velocity = (Flow Velocity*Depth)/Length
Settling Velocity = (Discharge entering Basin given Settling Velocity/(Width*Length))
Settling Velocity = (Discharge/(Width*Depth))*(Ratio of Height to Length)
