Info

Applications ‣Stoke’s Law can be used to determine the surface area of a settling tank ‣Set the critical velocity equal to the settling velocity of the smallest particle ‣The overflow rate is equal to the flow rate into the tank divided by the surface area ‣Setting the overflow rate equal to the critical settling velocity allows time to capture smallest particles of interest
Applications OFR = v = c Q A ‣OFR = over flow rate ( m / s or ft / s ) ‣v c = critical settling velocity ( m / s or ft / s ) ‣Q Q = the flow rate into the basin ( m3 / s or cfs) ‣A A = the surface area of the basin (m 2 or ft 2 )
