Specific Retention Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Specific Retention = (Volume of water Retained/Total Volume of Soil or Rock Sample)*100
%S_r = (V_r/V_t)*100
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Specific Retention - Specific Retention (in %) tells how much water remains in the rock after it is drained by gravity.
Volume of water Retained - (Measured in Cubic Meter) - Volume of Water Retained in total volume of soil or rock sample is when the Soils can process and hold considerable amounts of water.
Total Volume of Soil or Rock Sample - (Measured in Cubic Meter) - Total Volume of Soil or Rock Sample is the combined volume of solids and pores which may contain volume of air or volume of water, or both.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Volume of water Retained: 5 Cubic Meter --> 5 Cubic Meter No Conversion Required
Total Volume of Soil or Rock Sample: 50 Cubic Meter --> 50 Cubic Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

%S_r = (V_r/V_t)*100 --> (5/50)*100

Evaluating ... ...

%S_r = 10

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

10 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

10 <-- Specific Retention

What is Specific Retention?

Specific Retention is that volume fraction of water that is held back by adhesion and capillary forces, when an aquifer is drained.

How to Calculate Specific Retention?

Specific Retention calculator uses Specific Retention = (Volume of water Retained/Total Volume of Soil or Rock Sample)*100 to calculate the Specific Retention, The Specific Retention is defines how water remains in the rock after it is drained by gravity. It is usually expressed as a percentage. Specific Retention is denoted by %S_r symbol.

How to calculate Specific Retention using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Specific Retention, enter Volume of water Retained (V_r) & Total Volume of Soil or Rock Sample (V_t) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Specific Retention calculation can be explained with given input values -> 10 = (5/50)*100.

FAQ

What is Specific Retention?

The Specific Retention is defines how water remains in the rock after it is drained by gravity. It is usually expressed as a percentage and is represented as %S_r = (V_r/V_t)*100 or Specific Retention = (Volume of water Retained/Total Volume of Soil or Rock Sample)*100. Volume of Water Retained in total volume of soil or rock sample is when the Soils can process and hold considerable amounts of water & Total Volume of Soil or Rock Sample is the combined volume of solids and pores which may contain volume of air or volume of water, or both.

How to calculate Specific Retention?

The Specific Retention is defines how water remains in the rock after it is drained by gravity. It is usually expressed as a percentage is calculated using Specific Retention = (Volume of water Retained/Total Volume of Soil or Rock Sample)*100. To calculate Specific Retention, you need Volume of water Retained (V_r) & Total Volume of Soil or Rock Sample (V_t). With our tool, you need to enter the respective value for Volume of water Retained & Total Volume of Soil or Rock Sample and hit the calculate button. You can also select the units (if any) for Input(s) and the Output as well.
