Section 1065.642 - PDP, SSV, and CFV molar flow rate calculations

This section describes the equations for calculating molar flow rates from various flow meters. After you calibrate a flow meter according to § 1065.640 , use the calculations described in this section to calculate flow during an emission test.

(a)PDP molar flow rate.

(1) Based on the speed at which you operate the PDP for a test interval, select the corresponding slope, a_1, and intercept, a_0, as calculated in § 1065.640 , to calculate PDP molar flow rate,, as follows:

Where:

f_nPDP = pump speed.

V_rev = PDP volume pumped per revolution, as determined in paragraph (a)(2) of this section.

p_in = static absolute pressure at the PDP inlet.

R = molar gas constant.

T_in = absolute temperature at the PDP inlet.

(2) Calculate V_rev using the following equation:

Example:

a₁ = 0.8405 (m³/s)

f_nPDP = 12.58 r/s

P_out = 99.950 kPa

P_in = 98.575 kPa = 98575 Pa = 98575 kg/(m·s²)

a₀ = 0.056 (m³/r)

R = 8.314472 J/(mol·K) = 8.314472 (m²·kg)/(s²·mol·K)

T_in = 323.5 K

Where:

C_d = discharge coefficient, as determined based on the C_d versus Re^# equation in § 1065.640(d)(2) .

C_f = flow coefficient, as determined in § 1065.640(c)(3)(ii) .

A_t = venturi throat cross-sectional area.

p_in = static absolute pressure at the venturi inlet.

Z = compressibility factor.

M_mix = molar mass of gas mixture.

R = molar gas constant.

T_in = absolute temperature at the venturi inlet.

Example:

A_t = 0.01824 m²

p_in = 99.132 kPa = 99132 Pa = 99132 kg/(m·s²)

Z = 1

M_mix = 28.7805 g/mol = 0.0287805 kg/mol

R = 8.314472 J/(mol·K) = 8.314472 (m²·kg)/(s²·mol·K)

T_in = 298.15 K

Re^# = 7.232·10⁵

[GAMMA] = 1.399

[BETA] = 0.8

[DELTA]p = 2.312 kPa

Using Eq. 1065.640-7:

Using Eq. 1065.640-6:

Using Eq. 1065.640-5:

(c)CFV molar flow rate. If you use multiple venturis and you calibrate each venturi independently to determine a separate discharge coefficient, C_d (or calibration coefficient, K_v), for each venturi, calculate the individual molar flow rates through each venturi and sum all their flow rates to determine CFV flow rate, n. If you use multiple venturis and you calibrated venturis in combination, calculate n using the sum of the active venturi throat areas as A_t, the square root of the sum of the squares of the active venturi throat diameters as d_t, and the ratio of the venturi throat to inlet diameters as the ratio of the square root of the sum of the active venturi throat diameters (d_t) to the diameter of the common entrance to all the venturis (D).

(1) To calculate n through one venturi or one combination of venturis, use its respective mean C_d and other constants you determined according to § 1065.640 and calculate n as follows:

C_f = flow coefficient, as determined in § 1065.640(c)(3) .

C_d = 0.985

C_f = 0.7219

A_t = 0.00456 m²

p_in = 98.836 kPa = 98836 Pa = 98836 kg/(m·s²)

(2) To calculate the molar flow rate through one venturi or a combination of venturis, you may use its respective mean, K_v, and other constants you determined according to § 1065.640 and calculate its molar flow rate n during an emission test. Note that if you follow the permissible ranges of dilution air dewpoint versus calibration air dewpoint in Table 3 of § 1065.640 , you may set M_mix-cal and M_mix equal to 1. Calculate n as follows:
