Hi
Is it possible to calculate the gas velocity (m/sec) through a known bore pipe if the only information I have is the gas flow rate (Nm3/hr), Gas temp. (deg.C), gas pressure (mm WG).
I know that I can get the flow rate in to m/hr by the equation flow*((273+temp)/273)
I do have a gas analysis and gas saturation figures but no Reynolds number.
Is there a simple calculation for velocity.
I am looking at a gas flow of 700000 Nm3/hr at 45 deg.C & 800 mm WG through a 2500mm diameter pipe but I also want to be able to change the diameter to see what effect it has on the velocity.
Any help appreciated.
