Gas flow rate calculation problem
Thread Content
May I ask a senior: If there is a mixture of two gases in a pipeline, and the molar ratio of these two gases is known as well as the total flow rate, is there any formula that can be used to calculate the flow rate of one of the gases?
Basic knowledge: Gas flow rate = Total flow rate * Ratio
In addition to knowing this, it is also necessary to know the molar masses of the two gases, calculate their volume fractions; multiplying the volume fractions by the total flow rate gives the flow rate of each individual gas
According to the ideal gas law PV = NRT, at the same temperature and pressure, the ratio of the volumes of gases is equal to the ratio of their moles. Therefore, by multiplying the total flow rate by the mole percentage of a particular gas, it is possible to determine the flow rate of that gas.
