The relationship between air mass flow rate and volume flow rate in electric air heaters
The air is colorless and odorless, in a gaseous state. At 0 ℃ and one standard atmospheric pressure (1.013 × 10 ^ 5 Pa) density of air is 1.29Kg/m3. The state of the gas at 0 ℃ and a standard atmospheric pressure is called the standard state, and the air in the standard state can be regarded as ideal gas with a molar volume of 22.4L/mol.
The relationship between air mass flow rate and air volume flow rate: The conversion coefficient between air volume flow rate and air mass flow rate is 1.29. To convert the volume flow rate of air into mass flow rate, a coefficient of 1.29 needs to be multiplied.
Example: The mass of air passing through in t hour is m kg, the volume is V m3, and the density of air is known ρ= 1.29 kilograms per cubic meter.
So the volume flow rate of the air qv=V/t (cubic meters per hour), and the mass flow rate qm=m/t (kilograms per hour).
Since air mass=density of air x air volume, i.e. m= ρ V=1.29V。
So qm=m/t= ρ V/t= ρ qv=1.29qv。
To convert the volume flow rate of air into mass flow rate, a coefficient of 1.29 needs to be multiplied.
