Narrow,Regular"&9&F/&ADW:Calculated from Fluor table at
the end of the spreadsheet. tP must be small: tb/Do must be < 6
for the sonic vena cava to form beyond the bore diameter. If the
sonic barrier forms in the orifice as it does for thick plates (tb
ratio > 6), then the flow is choked and a larger orifice will be
required to flow the same mass.DW:Based on ideal gas at inlet flow
temperature. Slight error can be expected for saturated conditions
near critical point. K affects Y so a significant deviation will be
a problem. Ideal gas k should not be used if residuals are
large.DW:Cunningham showed that a thin plate orifice is not
restricted by choked flow. Until 2005, it was assumed that Y and C
would be different than for unchoked flow. Kirk presented a new Y
equation for conditions below Pcritcal, whn P2/P1 are below 0.63.
Without these new equations, an error of up to 40%, or more, can be
expected by using standard ASME equations for Y and C.DW:Calculate
Do with goal seek by selecting Wcalc for set, typing in the value
for Wd, and using the value of Do for the change cell.DW:Not all of
the pressure drop across the orifice is lost. As the Beta is
decreased, the permanent loss approaches the tap measurement, which
is always the larger of the two.DW:This is the value used in
Wcalc.DW:Target flow rate.DW:Re is measured for the pipe not the
bore.DW:Wd is the mass flow rate based on Qg and SC
density.DW:Wcalc is the mass flow rate based on Crane equation
2-24.DW:This viscosity is the mixture viscosity from the
"Properties" sheet --- from "VISC." VISC calculates mixture
viscosity using the Wilke equation.DW:Manual input is allowed for
Z. (Although program will calculate Z, calculated Z will be ignored
if yellow cell has value.) In some circumstances Z will not be
calculated: if the Abbott equations do not apply. In this unlikely
event, read the Zo, Z1 values from the appropriate curves,
calculate Z by hand and enter here.Citgo Employee:Temperature
upstream of orifice, i.e., for D1. Final temperature will decrease
as a result of throttling. Usually, adiabatic expansion yields the
lowest pressure drop and temperature drop but isothermal expansion
has been assumed. Isothermal really only applies for long runs of
small pipe.DW:Real gas density at upstream conditions.DW:For the
Abbott equations to apply, an error curve was prepared relating
Tr(y) to Pr(x): Figure 3.16, Smith & Van Ness, "Introduction to
Chemical Engineering Thermodynamics," 4th edition. Above the curve,
the Abbott equations apply, below the curve, the charts for Zo, Z1
must be used. The curve has a break but can be approximated by two
straight line sections: "sat curve" and "hot gas curve."DW:M.M.
Abbott developed equations for Z in terms of a truncated virial
coefficient equation.DW:"Sch." affects the diameter, i.e.,
D1.DW:Below the calculated pressure, Pcf, a vena contracta will
form, beyond it, the gas passes through a sonic barrier. As the
pressure is reduced further, the vena contracta will approach the
bore.P1:P2:D1:Do:W=DPrEquation 2-24, Crane TP 410, adapted on 3.24
