Settling Velocity given Length to Depth Ratio Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Settling Velocity = Flow Velocity/Length to Depth Ratio
v_s = V_f/LH
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.
Flow Velocity - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Flow Velocity is the velocity of the flow of any fluid.
Length to Depth Ratio - Length to Depth Ratio is the ratio of length of the tank to depth of the sedimentation tank.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Flow Velocity: 1.12 Meter per Second --> 1.12 Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Length to Depth Ratio: 0.746 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

v_s = V_f/LH --> 1.12/0.746

Evaluating ... ...

v_s = 1.50134048257373

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

1.50134048257373 Meter per Second --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

1.50134048257373 ≈ 1.50134 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 Length to Depth Ratio?

Settling Velocity given Length to Depth Ratio calculator uses Settling Velocity = Flow Velocity/Length to Depth Ratio to calculate the Settling Velocity, The Settling Velocity given Length to Depth Ratio 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 length to depth ratio. Settling Velocity is denoted by v_s symbol.

How to calculate Settling Velocity given Length to Depth Ratio using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Settling Velocity given Length to Depth Ratio, enter Flow Velocity (V_f) & Length to Depth Ratio (LH) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Settling Velocity given Length to Depth Ratio calculation can be explained with given input values -> 1.244444 = 1.12/0.746.

FAQ

What is Settling Velocity given Length to Depth Ratio?

The Settling Velocity given Length to Depth Ratio 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 length to depth ratio and is represented as v_s = V_f/LH or Settling Velocity = Flow Velocity/Length to Depth Ratio. Flow Velocity is the velocity of the flow of any fluid & Length to Depth Ratio is the ratio of length of the tank to depth of the sedimentation tank.

How to calculate Settling Velocity given Length to Depth Ratio?

The Settling Velocity given Length to Depth Ratio 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 length to depth ratio is calculated using Settling Velocity = Flow Velocity/Length to Depth Ratio. To calculate Settling Velocity given Length to Depth Ratio, you need Flow Velocity (V_f) & Length to Depth Ratio (LH). With our tool, you need to enter the respective value for Flow Velocity & Length to Depth Ratio 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 Flow Velocity & Length to Depth Ratio. 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/Base Surface Area)
