Capacity coefficient of valves in gas processing
Input(s)
q: Flow Rate \((\mathrm{bbl} / \mathrm{m})\)
\(\gamma\): Fluid Relative Density (dimensionless)
P: Pressure Drop (psi)
Output(s)
\(\mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{v}}\): Capacity Coefficient (dimensionless)
Formula(s)
\[
\mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{v}}=\left(\frac{\mathrm{q}}{\mathrm{A}}\right) *\left(\frac{\gamma}{\mathrm{P}}\right)^{0.5}
\]
