Gas mass velocity in an adsorption unit
Input(s)
\(\mathrm{v}_{\mathrm{g}}\): Gas Velocity \((\mathrm{ft} / \mathrm{m})\)
\(\gamma_{\mathrm{g}}\): Specific Gravity of Gas (dimensionless)
P: Pressure (psi)
\(\mathrm{T}\): Inlet Gas Temperature (K)
z: Compressibility Factor (dimensionless)
Output(s)
w: Gas Mass Velocity \(\left(\mathrm{lb} / \mathrm{h} \mathrm{ft}{ }^{2}\right)\)
Formula(s)
\[
\mathrm{w}=\frac{162 * \mathrm{v}_{\mathrm{g}} * \gamma_{\mathrm{g}} * \mathrm{P}}{\mathrm{T} * \mathrm{z}}
\]
