Calculation of air flow rate
Thread Content
Air compressor with a rated output of 15,000 cubic meters per hour, a system pressure of 670 kPa, and an outlet temperature of 35 degrees Celsius. I would like to ask all fellow sailors: what is the gas production rate in tons per hour under the operating conditions of the compressor? How is it calculated and what are the unit conversions?
It can be solved using the ideal gas law P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2
The flow rate is very important, so it’s necessary to be more specific and state the formula for calculating the flow rate.
Your flow meter uses Nm3/h as the unit of measurement, right? Under standard conditions, the density of air is 1.293 Kg/Nm3. By multiplying the flow rate by this density, we get 15000 Nm3/h * 1.293 Kg/Nm3 = 19395 Kg.
The unit of the flow meter is tons per hour, so I’m a bit confused about that. I’m not quite sure how to convert it. So I’d like to ask fellow sailors for help – to see if the calculated results match the data on the flow meter, so that we can make a comparison
Once the standard value is known, just multiply it by the density at standard conditions. Is it necessary to enter data? Just use the designed compression volume; after all, the amount of air is constantly changing~~
What’s really strange is why the air flow rate is measured in tons.
Foreigners tend to prefer tons of them~~ hehe
Yes, a different ** process is used
