Next Step Substitute values of Variables
Qs=90.5(0.48mg/L-0.4mg/L)5d1200mg/L(1+3d⁻¹5d)
Next Step Convert Units
Qs=90.5(0.0005kg/m³-0.0004kg/m³)432000s1.2kg/m³(1+3.5E-5s⁻¹432000s)
Next Step Prepare to Evaluate
Qs=90.5(0.0005-0.0004)4320001.2(1+3.5E-5432000)
LAST Step Evaluate
Qs=10m³/s

Sewage Discharge given Volume of Aeration Tank Formula Elements

Variables
Sewage Discharge
Sewage discharge is the flow rate of sewage when it is being discharged into the water body.
Symbol: Qs
Measurement: Volumetric Flow RateUnit: m³/s
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Volume of Tank
Volume of Tank is defined as the capacity of flocculation and mixing tank.
Symbol: V
Measurement: VolumeUnit:
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Maximum Yield Coefficient
Maximum Yield Coefficient Y represents the maximum mg of cells produced per mg organic matter removed.
Symbol: Y
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value should be between 0.4 to 0.8.
Influent BOD
Influent BOD is the total amount of BOD which is present in the incoming sewage.
Symbol: Qi
Measurement: DensityUnit: mg/L
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Effluent BOD
Effluent BOD is the amount of dissolved oxygen needed by aerobic biological organisms to break down organic material present in a water sample at a certain temperature over a specific time period.
