Volume of Aeration Tank Solution

Follow our step by step solution on how to calculate Volume of Aeration Tank?

FIRST Step Consider the formula

V = \frac{Y \cdot Q s \cdot (Q i - Q o) \cdot θ c}{X \cdot (1 + K e \cdot θ c)}

Next Step Substitute values of Variables

∴

V = \frac{0.5 \cdot 10m³/s \cdot (0.48mg/L - 0.4mg/L) \cdot 5d}{1200mg/L \cdot (1 + 3d⁻¹ \cdot 5d)}

Next Step Convert Units

∴

V = \frac{0.5 \cdot 10m³/s \cdot (0.0005kg/m³ - 0.0004kg/m³) \cdot 432000s}{1.2kg/m³ \cdot (1 + 3.5E-5s⁻¹ \cdot 432000s)}

Next Step Prepare to Evaluate

∴

V = \frac{0.5 \cdot 10 \cdot (0.0005 - 0.0004) \cdot 432000}{1.2 \cdot (1 + 3.5E-5 \cdot 432000)}

Next Step Evaluate

∴

V = 9.00000000000001m³

LAST Step Rounding Answer

∴

V = 9m³
