STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Influent Average Flow Rate: 5 Cubic Meter per Second --> 5 Cubic Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Influent Suspended Solids: 5000.2 Milligram per Liter --> 5.0002 Kilogram per Cubic Meter (Check conversion here)
Volume of Aerobic Digester: 10 Cubic Meter --> 10 Cubic Meter No Conversion Required
Digester Total Suspended Solids: 0.014 Milligram per Liter --> 1.4E-05 Kilogram per Cubic Meter (Check conversion here)
Reaction Rate Constant: 0.05 1 Per Day --> 5.78703703703704E-07 1 Per Second (Check conversion here)
Volatile Fraction: 0.5 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

θ = ((Q_i*X_i)/(V_ad*X)-(K_d*P_v)) --> ((5*5.0002)/(10*1.4E-05)-(5.78703703703704E-07*0.5))

Evaluating ... ...

θ = 178578.571428282

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

178578.571428282 Second -->2.06688161375327 Day (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

2.06688161375327 ≈ 2.066882 Day <-- Solids Retention Time

What is Retention Time?

Retention time (RT) is a measure of the time taken for a solute to pass through a chromatography column. It is calculated as the time from injection to detection. The RT for a compound is not fixed as many factors can influence it even if the same GC and column are used. These include: The gas flow rate.
