Time of Peak given Base Length Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Time of Peak = Base Length/2.67
T_p = T_b/2.67
This formula uses 2 Variables

Variables Used

Time of Peak - (Measured in Hour) - Time of Peak is the time interval from the start of rainfall to the peak discharge.
Base Length - (Measured in Meter) - Base Length in SCS Triangular Unit Hydrograph is a popular method used in watershed development activities, especially in small watersheds.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Base Length: 18.69 Meter --> 18.69 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

T_p = T_b/2.67 --> 18.69/2.67

Evaluating ... ...

T_p = 7

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

25200 Second -->7 Hour (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

7 Hour <-- Time of Peak

(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)

Time of Peak or Time of Rise

LaTeX Go Time of Peak = (Standard Duration of Effective Rainfall/2)+Basin Lag

Lag Time given Time of Peak

LaTeX Go Basin Lag = Time of Peak-Standard Duration of Effective Rainfall/2

Time of Recession as Suggested in SCS

LaTeX Go Time of Recession = 1.67*Time of Peak

Time of Peak given Time of Recession

LaTeX Go Time of Peak = Time of Recession/1.67

Time of Peak given Base Length Formula

LaTeX Go

Time of Peak = Base Length/2.67
T_p = T_b/2.67

What is Basin Lag?

Basin lag time, defined as the elapsed time between the occurrences of the centroids of the effective rainfall. and of the storm runoff hydrograph, is an important factor in determining the time to peak of the unit. hydrograph and the intensity of peak discharge.

What is Baseflow?

Baseflow is a portion of streamflow that is not directly generated from the excess rainfall during a storm event. In other words, this is the flow that would exist in the stream without the contribution of direct runoff from the rainfall.

How to Calculate Time of Peak given Base Length?

Time of Peak given Base Length calculator uses Time of Peak = Base Length/2.67 to calculate the Time of Peak, The Time of Peak given Base Length formula is defined as the time interval from the start of rainfall to the peak discharge. Time of Peak is denoted by T_p symbol.

How to calculate Time of Peak given Base Length using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Time of Peak given Base Length, enter Base Length (T_b) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Time of Peak given Base Length calculation can be explained with given input values -> 0.001944 = 18.69/2.67.

FAQ

What is Time of Peak given Base Length?
