Transportation Lag Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Transportation Lag = (Volume of Tube/Volumetric Flow Rate)
τ = (∨₁/V_Flow)
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Transportation Lag - (Measured in Second) - Transportation Lag is the delay between the time an input signal is applied to a system and the time the system reacts to that input signal. Transportation lags are common in industrial applications.
Volume of Tube - (Measured in Cubic Meter) - Volume of Tube is the capacity of the cylinder which calculates the amount of material quantity it can hold.
Volumetric Flow Rate - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Second) - Volumetric Flow Rate is the volume of fluid which passes per unit time.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Volume of Tube: 8 Cubic Meter --> 8 Cubic Meter No Conversion Required
Volumetric Flow Rate: 6 Cubic Meter per Second --> 6 Cubic Meter per Second No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

τ = (∨₁/V_Flow) --> (8/6)

Evaluating ... ...

τ = 1.33333333333333

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

1.33333333333333 Second --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

1.33333333333333 ≈ 1.333333 Second <-- Transportation Lag

What is Transportation Lag?

The transportation lag is the delay between. the time an input signal is applied to a system and the time the system reacts to that input signal. Transportation lags are common in industrial applications. They are often called “dead time”. Transportation Lag parameter is simply the time needed for a particle of fluid to floe from the entrance of a tube to the exit.

What is Process Dynamics and Control?

Process Dynamics is concerned with analyzing the dynamic (i.e., time dependent) behavior of a process in response to various types of inputs. In other words, it is the behavior of a process as time progresses.

How to Calculate Transportation Lag?

Transportation Lag calculator uses Transportation Lag = (Volume of Tube/Volumetric Flow Rate) to calculate the Transportation Lag, The Transportation Lag formula is defined as the delay between the time an input signal is applied to a system and the time the system reacts to that input signal. Transportation lags are common in industrial applications. Transportation Lag is denoted by τ symbol.

How to calculate Transportation Lag using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Transportation Lag, enter Volume of Tube (∨₁) & Volumetric Flow Rate (V_Flow) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Transportation Lag calculation can be explained with given input values -> 1.333333 = (8/6).

FAQ

What is Transportation Lag?

The Transportation Lag formula is defined as the delay between the time an input signal is applied to a system and the time the system reacts to that input signal. Transportation lags are common in industrial applications and is represented as τ = (∨₁/V_Flow) or Transportation Lag = (Volume of Tube/Volumetric Flow Rate). Volume of Tube is the capacity of the cylinder which calculates the amount of material quantity it can hold & Volumetric Flow Rate is the volume of fluid which passes per unit time.

How to calculate Transportation Lag?

The Transportation Lag formula is defined as the delay between the time an input signal is applied to a system and the time the system reacts to that input signal. Transportation lags are common in industrial applications is calculated using Transportation Lag = (Volume of Tube/Volumetric Flow Rate). To calculate Transportation Lag, you need Volume of Tube (∨₁) & Volumetric Flow Rate (V_Flow). With our tool, you need to enter the respective value for Volume of Tube & Volumetric Flow Rate and hit the calculate button. You can also select the units (if any) for Input(s) and the Output as well.
