Conversion rate calculation
Thread Content
Conversion rate = 【(CO import – CO export) / (CO import + CO import × CO export)】×100%. I’m wondering why there is CO import × CO export in the denominator; could anyone please explain?
After the transformation, the molar fraction of CO in the dry transformed gas is a1. Thus, a1 = remaining CO after transformation / total amount of dry transformed gas = (a – ax) / (1 + ax). Solving for x gives x = (a – a1) / a + a × a1
There’s a detailed introduction; I’ll go look for it.
You set the transformation rate as X; C_out = (C_in – C_in*X) / (1 + C_in*X), and finding X is exactly this. Because there is a change in air volume before and after the transformation.
