Detention Time for Circular Tank Solution

Follow our step by step solution on how to calculate Detention Time for Circular Tank?

FIRST Step Consider the formula
Td=((D)2)((0.011D)+(0.785d)Qd)
Next Step Substitute values of Variables
Td=((4.8m)2)((0.0114.8m)+(0.7853m)8.2m³/s)
Next Step Prepare to Evaluate
Td=((4.8)2)((0.0114.8)+(0.7853)8.2)
Next Step Evaluate
Td=6.76533073170732s
LAST Step Rounding Answer
Td=6.7653s

Detention Time for Circular Tank Formula Elements

Variables
Detention Time
Detention Time is the length of time the water is retained in a vessel or basin.
Symbol: Td
Measurement: TimeUnit: s
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Diameter
Diameter is the straight-line distance passing through the center of a circular cross-section, connecting two points on its boundary.
Symbol: D
Measurement: LengthUnit: m
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Depth
Depth is the vertical distance from the surface of a reference point, such as the ground or water surface, to a specific point or feature below.
Symbol: d
Measurement: LengthUnit: m
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Discharge in Tank
Discharge in Tank is the volumetric flow rate of water that is transported through a given cross-sectional area. It includes any suspended solids, dissolved chemicals, or biologic material.
Symbol: Qd
Measurement: Volumetric Flow RateUnit: m³/s
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
