Surface Area of Skimming Tank Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Surface Area = 0.00622*(Rate of Flow/Minimum Rising Velocity)
SA = 0.00622*(q_flow/V_r)
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Surface Area - (Measured in Square Meter) - The Surface Area of a three-dimensional shape is the sum of all of the surface areas of each of the sides.
Rate of Flow - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Second) - Rate of Flow is the rate at which a liquid or other substance flows through a particular channel, pipe, etc.
Minimum Rising Velocity - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Minimum Rising Velocity is the minimum velocity at which a particle or droplet must rise through a fluid medium (such as water or air) to overcome opposing forces such as gravity and drag.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Rate of Flow: 2.315 Cubic Meter per Second --> 2.315 Cubic Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Minimum Rising Velocity: 0.0008 Meter per Second --> 0.0008 Meter per Second No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

SA = 0.00622*(q_flow/V_r) --> 0.00622*(2.315/0.0008)

Evaluating ... ...

SA = 17.999125

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

17.999125 Square Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

17.999125 ≈ 17.99912 Square Meter <-- Surface Area
