Surface Area given Solid Loading Rate Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Surface Area = Maximum Solids/Solid Loading Rate
SA = S_max/SL_r
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Surface Area - (Measured in Square Meter) - Surface Area is the horizontal area available for sedimentation, impacting the tank's capacity to separate solids, typically measured in square meters (m²).
Maximum Solids - (Measured in Kilogram per Second) - Maximum Solids refer to the highest concentration of suspended particulates in a given system, such as a wastewater treatment tank.
Solid Loading Rate - (Measured in Kilogram per Second Square Meter) - Solid Loading Rate is the amount of solids applied per unit area of a treatment process, such as a clarifier, typically measured in kilograms per square meter per day (kg/m²/day).

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Maximum Solids: 80 Kilogram per Day --> 0.000925925925925926 Kilogram per Second (Check conversion here)
Solid Loading Rate: 20 kilogram per Day Square Meter --> 0.000231481481481481 Kilogram per Second Square Meter (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

SA = S_max/SL_r --> 0.000925925925925926/0.000231481481481481

Evaluating ... ...

SA = 4.00000000000001

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

4.00000000000001 Square Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

4.00000000000001 ≈ 4 Square Meter <-- Surface Area
