Gas mass velocity in an adsorption unit

Input(s)

$\mathrm{v}_{\mathrm{g}}$: Gas Velocity $(\mathrm{ft} / \mathrm{m})$

$\gamma_{\mathrm{g}}$: Specific Gravity of Gas (dimensionless)

P: Pressure (psi)

$\mathrm{T}$: Inlet Gas Temperature (K)

z: Compressibility Factor (dimensionless)

Output(s)

w: Gas Mass Velocity $\left(\mathrm{lb} / \mathrm{h} \mathrm{ft}{ }^{2}\right)$

Formula(s)

$$ \mathrm{w}=\frac{162 * \mathrm{v}_{\mathrm{g}} * \gamma_{\mathrm{g}} * \mathrm{P}}{\mathrm{T} * \mathrm{z}} $$
