Sludge Age given Concentration of Solids Solution

Follow our step by step solution on how to calculate Sludge Age given Concentration of Solids?

FIRST Step Consider the formula
θc'=VXsa(QwXR)+(Qmax-Qw)XE
Next Step Substitute values of Variables
θc'=991200mg/L(9.5m³/s0.526mg/L)+(11.17m³/s-9.5m³/s)10mg/L
Next Step Convert Units
θc'=991.2kg/m³(9.5m³/s0.0005kg/m³)+(11.17m³/s-9.5m³/s)0.01kg/m³
Next Step Prepare to Evaluate
θc'=991.2(9.50.0005)+(11.17-9.5)0.01
Next Step Evaluate
θc'=37830.1147624096s
Next Step Convert to Output's Unit
θc'=0.437848550490851d
LAST Step Rounding Answer
θc'=0.4378d

FAQs on Sludge Age given Concentration of Solids

What is the formula to find Sludge Age given Concentration of Solids?
The formula of Sludge Age given Concentration of Solids is expressed as Sludge Age given Concentration of Solids = (Volume of Tank*MLSS given Sludge Age)/((Volume of Wasted Sludge per day*Concentration of Solids in Returned Sludge)+(Peak Sewage Flow-Volume of Wasted Sludge per day)*Concentration of Solids in Effluent). Here is an example- 5.1E-6 = (9*91.2)/((9.5*0.000526)+(11.17-9.5)*0.01).
How to calculate Sludge Age given Concentration of Solids?
With Volume of Tank (V), MLSS given Sludge Age (Xsa), Volume of Wasted Sludge per day (Qw), Concentration of Solids in Returned Sludge (XR), Peak Sewage Flow (Qmax) & Concentration of Solids in Effluent (XE) we can find Sludge Age given Concentration of Solids using the formula - Sludge Age given Concentration of Solids = (Volume of Tank*MLSS given Sludge Age)/((Volume of Wasted Sludge per day*Concentration of Solids in Returned Sludge)+(Peak Sewage Flow-Volume of Wasted Sludge per day)*Concentration of Solids in Effluent).
Can the Sludge Age given Concentration of Solids be negative?
No, the Sludge Age given Concentration of Solids, measured in Time cannot be negative.
Which unit is used to measure Sludge Age given Concentration of Solids?
Sludge Age given Concentration of Solids is usually measured using the Day[d] for Time. Second[d], Millisecond[d], Microsecond[d] are the few other units in which Sludge Age given Concentration of Solids can be measured.
