Height of cement in the annulus

Input(s)

$\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{s}}$: Slurry Volume $\left(\mathrm{ft}^{3}\right)$

$\mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{c}}$: Casing Capacity $\left(\mathrm{ft}^{3} / \mathrm{ft}\right)$

AC: Cement Remaining in Casing $\left(\mathrm{ft}^{3}\right)$

E: Excess Volume (fraction)

Output(s)

H: Height of Cement in Annulus (ft)

Formula(s)

$$ \mathrm{H}=\frac{\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{s}}-\mathrm{AC}+\mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{c}}}{\mathrm{E}} $$
