Flow component

Field for customer notes
Input data
p1 (bar) p1 > 0
p2 (bar) p2 ≤ p1
b 0 ≤ b ≤ 1
C (l/(s*bar)) C > 0
Output:
Flow Q (Nl/min)
Explanation:
p1 (bar)
Input pressure (relative atmosphere)
p2 (bar)
Output pressure (relative atmosphere)
p1abs (bar)
Input absolute pressure
p2abs (bar)
Output absolute pressure
b Critical pressure ratio
Ratio of output pressure p2abs and input pressure p1abs which marks the transition from choked flow (sonic velocity in narrowest section) to subsonic flow
C The C-value (l/(s*bar)).
Flow sonic conductance
Ratio of volume flow Q and input pressure p1abs for choked flow C=Q/p1abs
