Argh! Of course. I was doing lbm/s instead of the lbm/hr I should have been converting to. I think that I'd been staring at it too long, and I fried my brain.
Thanks a bunch for getting me back on track.
Hi,
I am a new engineer working on a derivation for maximum flow of a gas in a nozzle.
API RP 520, Pt. I, Para. 4.3.2.1 gives the equation for max flow to be
W=C*A*P*sqrt(T/M)
I've left out the correction factors for back pressure, non-ideal flow, and compressibility of a non-ideal gas...
