Inlet Channel Velocity Solution

Follow our step by step solution on how to calculate Inlet Channel Velocity?

FIRST Step Consider the formula

c 1 = V m \cdot \sin (2 \cdot π \cdot \frac{t}{T})

Next Step Substitute values of Variables

∴

c 1 = 4.1m/s \cdot \sin (2 \cdot π \cdot \frac{1.2h}{130s})

Next Step Substitute values of Constants

∴

c 1 = 4.1m/s \cdot \sin (2 \cdot 3.1416 \cdot \frac{1.2h}{130s})

Next Step Convert Units

∴

c 1 = 4.1m/s \cdot \sin (2 \cdot 3.1416 \cdot \frac{1.2h}{0.0361h})

Next Step Prepare to Evaluate

∴

c 1 = 4.1 \cdot \sin (2 \cdot 3.1416 \cdot \frac{1.2}{0.0361})

Next Step Evaluate

∴

c 1 = 4.07010638380204m/s

LAST Step Rounding Answer

∴

c 1 = 4.0701m/s

How to Evaluate Inlet Channel Velocity?

Inlet Channel Velocity evaluator uses Inlet Velocity = Maximum Cross Sectional Average Velocity*sin(2*pi*Duration of Inflow/Tidal Period) to evaluate the Inlet Velocity, The Inlet Channel Velocity formula is defined as the representation of a first approximation channel velocity over time. Inlet Velocity is denoted by c₁ symbol.

How to evaluate Inlet Channel Velocity using this online evaluator? To use this online evaluator for Inlet Channel Velocity, enter Maximum Cross Sectional Average Velocity (V_m), Duration of Inflow (t) & Tidal Period (T) and hit the calculate button.

FAQs on Inlet Channel Velocity

What is the formula to find Inlet Channel Velocity?

The formula of Inlet Channel Velocity is expressed as Inlet Velocity = Maximum Cross Sectional Average Velocity*sin(2*pi*Duration of Inflow/Tidal Period). Here is an example- 4.070106 = 4.1*sin(2*pi*4320/130).

How to calculate Inlet Channel Velocity?

With Maximum Cross Sectional Average Velocity (V_m), Duration of Inflow (t) & Tidal Period (T) we can find Inlet Channel Velocity using the formula - Inlet Velocity = Maximum Cross Sectional Average Velocity*sin(2*pi*Duration of Inflow/Tidal Period). This formula also uses Archimedes' constant and Sine (sin) function(s).

Can the Inlet Channel Velocity be negative?

Yes, the Inlet Channel Velocity, measured in Speed can be negative.

Which unit is used to measure Inlet Channel Velocity?

Inlet Channel Velocity is usually measured using the Meter per Second[m/s] for Speed. Meter per Minute[m/s], Meter per Hour[m/s], Kilometer per Hour[m/s] are the few other units in which Inlet Channel Velocity can be measured.
