Width of Tank given Vertical Falling Speed in Sedimentation Tank Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

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

Variables Used

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.
Discharge - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Second) - The Discharge refers to the volume of fluid (usually water) that flows through a given cross-sectional area per unit of time.
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.
Length - (Measured in Meter) - The Length refers to the measurement of the distance between two points.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Discharge: 1.01 Cubic Meter per Second --> 1.01 Cubic Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Settling Velocity: 1.5 Meter per Second --> 1.5 Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Length: 5 Meter --> 5 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

w = Q/(V_s*L) --> 1.01/(1.5*5)

Evaluating ... ...

w = 0.134666666666667

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.134666666666667 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.134666666666667 ≈ 0.134667 Meter <-- Width

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 Width of Tank given Vertical Falling Speed in Sedimentation Tank?

Width of Tank given Vertical Falling Speed in Sedimentation Tank calculator uses Width = Discharge/(Settling Velocity*Length) to calculate the Width, The Width of Tank given Vertical Falling Speed in Sedimentation Tank formula is defined as the horizontal distance across the tank perpendicular to the flow direction. In a rectangular tank, this is the shorter side dimension, while in a circular tank, it would correspond to the diameter. Width is denoted by w symbol.

How to calculate Width of Tank given Vertical Falling Speed in Sedimentation Tank using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Width of Tank given Vertical Falling Speed in Sedimentation Tank, enter Discharge (Q), Settling Velocity (V_s) & Length (L) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Width of Tank given Vertical Falling Speed in Sedimentation Tank calculation can be explained with given input values -> 0.134667 = 1.01/(1.5*5).

FAQ

What is Width of Tank given Vertical Falling Speed in Sedimentation Tank?
