The total surface area of the flocculation baffles can be found by dividing the total volume of all the flocculation baffles by the thickness of one flocculation baffle.
Inlet and Exit Channels of the Sedimentation Tank
The volumes of the exit and inlet channels are derived from the user-input dimensions for each component. Using the widths, lengths, and thicknesses of each wall, the volume is computed by direct multiplication. The inlet channel also considers the dimensions of the sedimentation manifold entrance and the number of sedimentation inlet pipes. The quantity that is removed from the inlet channel due to the sedimentation inlet pipes is the volume of a single inlet pipe multiplied by the number of pipes.
