Diameter, pressure, and flow rate of chlorine pipelines
Thread Content
Chlorine pipeline, with a pipe diameter of DN100 and a pressure of 0.3 MPA; the outlet pipe also has a diameter of DN100. The temperature is at room temperature. The distance between the pipes as well as pipe resistance are temporarily ignored. I would like to ask the experts: what is the maximum flow rate per hour? Are there any calculation formulas or apps or something like that! Thank you!
It can be estimated at a maximum flow velocity of 25 m/s.
Based on a typical flow rate of 10 m/s for gases, the volume flow rate of chlorine is 0.785*0.1^2*10*3600 = 282 m3/h. Under operating conditions, the density of chlorine is approximately 71/22.4/(273+25)*273*(0.3+0.1)/0.1 = 11.6 kg/m3. Thus, the mass flow rate of chlorine is 282*11.6 = 3282 kg/h
It depends on the length of the pipeline and the pressure at the end
