Gas mass velocity in separator

Input(s)

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

$\mathrm{d}$: Internal Diameter of Separator (ft)

F: Fraction of Area Available for Gas (fraction)

Output(s)

m: Mass Rate $(\mathrm{lb} / \mathrm{h})$

Formula(s)

$$ \mathrm{m}=0.785 * \mathrm{w} *\left(\mathrm{~d}^{2}\right) * \mathrm{~F} $$
