Areas and Volumes Flows Dosage Formula

Area Calculation

  • Area measurements defines the size or surface of an object. Sometimes an area is described as the X-section (cross section) of an object.
  • U.S. units of area:
    1. Square inches = in²
    2. Square feet = ft²
    3. Square yards = yd²
    4. Square mile = mi.²

Problem # 1

Question: Calculate the area of a circle shown.

5 ft. diameter

Problem # 2

  • Question: A circular clarifier has a diameter of 40 ft. What is the surface area of the clarifier?

40 ft.

Volume Calculation

  • Volume measurements define the amount of space that an object occupies.
  • Some U.S. units of Volume:
    1. Cubic inches = in³
    2. Cubic feet = ft³
    3. Cubic yards = yds³
    4. Gallons per cu.ft. = 7.48 gals.
  1. Cylinder = 0.7854 x (d²) x (3rd^ dimension)
  2. Cylinder = 3.14 x (r²) x (3rd^ dimension)

Problem # 4

  • What is the volume of a tank which has a diameter of 10 ft. and a height of 12 ft.?
  • Hint: (the 3rd^ dimension is the height of the tank)

12 ft.

10 ft.

Solution to # 5

  • Volume = .7854 x (d²) x (3rd^ dimension)
  • Volume = .7854 x 1ft. x 1ft. x 5280ft.
  • Volume = 4146.9 ft.³ or 4146.9 cu.ft. (Problem # 6)
  • How many gallons can the pipe describe in problem # 5 hold if both ends were sealed?
  • Hint: 1 cu.ft. = 7.48 gals.

Problem # 7

  • How many gallons of water will a storage tank hold if it has a 27ft. Diameter and 40ft. Depth?

40 ft.

27 ft.

CONE

  • Calculate the volume of a cone with the dimensions shown on the diagram.
  • = Volume of a cone = ⅓ (volume of a cylinder)
  • or
  • = (0.7854) (D²) (Third dimension) 3
  • = (0.7854) (2 ft.) (2 ft.) (3 ft.) 3
  • = 3.14 cu. ft.

3 ft.

2 ft.

Problem # 9

  • If a spherical tank is 30ft. in diameter, how many gallons of water are required to fill it?
  • Formula: (3.14) x Diameter³ x 7.48gls/cuft ( 6 ) 30 ft.

Solution to # 10

  • As you can see you have three distinct shapes. Cone, cylinder, & hemisphere. In this case the volumes can be calculated separately, then added together to the total volume.
  • Cone= 0.7854 x D² x H x 7.48 gls/cuft 3
  • Cylinder= 0.7854 x D² x H x 7.48 gls/cuft
  • Hemisphere= 3.14 6 x D³ x 7.48 gls/cuft 2
  • Rectangle:

Area = Width x Length Length

Width

# 11 B

  • If one roll of carpet covers 80 ft.², how many rolls of carpet are needed?

475 sq. ft.

Problem # 12

  • A sedimentation tank is 75 ft. long and 35 ft. wide. What is the surface area of the water tank?
