Vertical Falling Speed in Sedimentation Tank Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Settling Velocity = Discharge/(Length*Width)
V_s = Q/(L*w)
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Settling Velocity - (Measured in Meter per Second) - The Settling Velocity refers to the rate at which a particle suspended in a fluid (like water or air) falls under the influence of gravity until reaches a constant speed.
Discharge - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Second) - The Discharge refers to the rate of flow of a liquid.
Length - (Measured in Meter) - The Length refers to the measurement of the distance between two points.
Width - (Measured in Meter) - The Width of a sedimentation tank refers to the horizontal dimension across the tank, typically measured perpendicular to the flow of water in a rectangular tank.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Discharge: 1.01 Cubic Meter per Second --> 1.01 Cubic Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Length: 5 Meter --> 5 Meter No Conversion Required
Width: 2.29 Meter --> 2.29 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

V_s = Q/(L*w) --> 1.01/(5*2.29)

Evaluating ... ...

V_s = 0.0882096069868996

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.0882096069868996 Meter per Second --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.0882096069868996 ≈ 0.08821 Meter per Second <-- Settling Velocity

Vertical Falling Speed given Height at Outlet Zone with respect to Discharge

Go Falling Speed = Outer Height*Discharge/(Length*Width*Height of Crack)

Vertical Falling Speed given Height at Outlet Zone with respect to Settling Velocity

Go Falling Speed = Outer Height*(Settling Velocity/Height of Crack)

Width of Tank given Vertical Falling Speed in Sedimentation Tank

Go Width = Discharge/(Settling Velocity*Length)

Vertical Falling Speed in Sedimentation Tank

Go Settling Velocity = Discharge/(Length*Width)

Vertical Falling Speed in Sedimentation Tank Formula

Settling Velocity = Discharge/(Length*Width)
V_s = Q/(L*w)

What is Sedimentation?

Sedimentation is the tendency for particles in suspension to settle out of the fluid in which they are entrained and come to rest against a barrier. This is due to their motion through the fluid in response to the forces acting on them: these forces can be due to gravity, centrifugal acceleration, or electromagnetism.

How to Calculate Vertical Falling Speed in Sedimentation Tank?

Vertical Falling Speed in Sedimentation Tank calculator uses Settling Velocity = Discharge/(Length*Width) to calculate the Settling Velocity, The Vertical Falling Speed in Sedimentation Tank formula is defined as the constant speed at which a particle falls through a fluid when the forces acting on it are balanced. Settling Velocity is denoted by V_s symbol.

How to calculate Vertical Falling Speed in Sedimentation Tank using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Vertical Falling Speed in Sedimentation Tank, enter Discharge (Q), Length (L) & Width (w) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Vertical Falling Speed in Sedimentation Tank calculation can be explained with given input values -> 0.08821 = 1.01/(5*2.29).

FAQ
