    Valve capacity calculation based on compressible flow

    Again, thank you all and indeed I have all the fisher monographes (they are particularly intesting). But what I am really looking for is the basics of how the math was generated- this is not as you would have guessed an industrial problem but rather one of academics at the moment. Most of the...

    Valve capacity calculation based on compressible flow

    Right...I am familiar with that, and from my understanding the ISA eqns for gas flow are based on bernoullis eqn but with some correction factors- i.e. the standard assumes the flow is incompressible to a certain limit and then applies correction factors to this eqn to gernerate the...

    Valve capacity calculation based on compressible flow

    All, I have a simple question regarding gas flow rate through a valve. How do you calculate it?? :-) To be more precise I am aware of the governing ISA equations for compressible flow through valves etc but I need to dervive this expression from first principles. I have reviewed the liquid eqn...
