Basically linear loading rate refers to the ability of the soil to accept wastewater and not become anerobic. It was determined that drainfield beds of widths over 5 or 6 feet had dead zones in the center where oxygen was not available to the aerobic soil bacteria below the drainfield to treat the wastewater. The result was that the center of these wide beds easily ponded and failed. Therefore a calculation had to be made to figure out what the proper size of a drainfield should be to maintain an oxygen supply in the soil for different soil textures and structures. The linear loading rate is measured in gallons of effluent per feet of drainfield (not square feet, but feet).
An example would be a moderately structured silt loam soil having a linear loading rate of 3 feet. If serving a 3 bedroom residence that produces 150 gallons per day per bedroom then there is 450 gallons per day to treat in the soil. 450 gallons per day divided by the linear loading rate (3') says that you need a minimum 150 feet of drainfield length. Thìs can be in one long drainfield or multiple cells of equal length.
The other consideration is soil loading rate to determine the width of the drainfield. The above soil example might have a soil loading rate of 0.6 gallons per day per square foot. Therefore the final size must be a minimum of 750 square feet. Using the length that was arrived using the linear loading rate (150'), 750 divided by 150' equals 5 feet wide.
Therefore the sizing of the drainfield would be 5' wide by 150' long (but probably 3 cells each 3' by 50' with spacing in between of perhaps 3' or more) and be expected to provide sufficient oxygen to the bottom of the entire drainfield.

How do you calculate residence time in a system?
Residence time in a system is calculated by dividing the total volume of the system by the flow rate of material entering or leaving the system. This gives you the average amount of time that a substance remains in the system before exiting.
How long does it take the earth to spin on its axis if the spin rate is 1670 kilometer and the circumference of the equator is 40000 kilometer?
Cannot be determined with the values you give. A spin rate cannot be defined by a linear dimension, You need to specify the angular dimension and a time value. or the peripheral speed which could be a linear and a time value.
How do you calculate the residence time of carbon in a given system?
To calculate the residence time of carbon in a system, you divide the total amount of carbon in the system by the rate at which carbon enters or exits the system. This gives you the average amount of time that a carbon atom remains in the system before moving out.
How do you calculate the residence time of water in a given system?
To calculate the residence time of water in a system, you divide the total volume of water in the system by the rate at which water enters or exits the system. This gives you the average amount of time a water molecule stays in the system before leaving.
How can one determine the residence time of a substance in a system?
The residence time of a substance in a system can be determined by dividing the total amount of the substance in the system by the rate at which the substance is entering or leaving the system. This calculation gives an estimate of how long the substance stays in the system before being removed or depleted.
Can the rate of change be linear or nonlinear?
Yes, the rate of change can be linear or non-linear.
The rate of change of any nonlinear function is constant?
No. Only a linear function has a constant rate of change.No. Only a linear function has a constant rate of change.No. Only a linear function has a constant rate of change.No. Only a linear function has a constant rate of change.
What is organic loading rate?
Organic loading rate (OLR) is a measure of the amount of organic matter being fed into a biological treatment system per unit of time. It is typically expressed in terms of chemical oxygen demand (COD) or biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) per unit volume of the system. OLR is an important parameter in designing and operating biological treatment systems such as anaerobic digesters or activated sludge systems.
Is earth rotation slowing rate linear or logarithmic?
i believe it is linear
Is distance traveled and rate of speed non linear?
No, there is a linear relationship.
What are the two kinds of equilibrium?
The two kinds of equilibrium are the folowing:Physical, which is an open system, and the rate of substances in, equals the rate of substances out.The other equilibrium is chemical equilibrium, which is a closed system, and the rate of the forward reaction equals the rate of the reverse reaction.
Is the following function linear or nonlinear If linear, state the rate of change?
o function is given. However, if linear , then the rate of change is the same as the steepness of the graph line.
What are linear taxes?
Linear taxes is the situation when the average tax rate is 20%. When this happens the tax rate will not increase with a higher income.
What is loading rate in atomic force microscopy?
The loading rate represents the changing in applied force with time.loading rate =dF/dt.It is a generalterm used not only for AFM but also for Dynamic Force Spectroscopy(DFS).loading rate = ksvv= velocity, ks=spring constant.Best wishes
What so septic shock?
Diagnosis of septic shock is made by measuring blood pressure, heart rate, and respiration rate. Blood cultures are done to determine the type of bacteria responsible. The levels of oxygen, carbon dioxide, and acidity in the blood are also monitored.
What is the rate of change of a linear function?
It will just be the gradient of the function, which should be constant in a linear function.
What is the rate of change for the linear function y equals 2x plus 3?
The rate of change for the linear (not liner) function, y = 2x +/- 3 is 2.
