BTU Flow in a flexible connector
BTU Flow in a flexible connector
(OP)
Hello guys. This is my first thread here.
I`m trying to know the BTU`s insdie a flexible connectors.
The information that I have is:
Internal diameter of the hose: .570"
Total length: 47"
Pressure: 0.5 - 1 psig.
Flow: Gas
The hose is connected from the supply line to a industrial
grill.
Can someone please explain me step by step, your calculation.
I know that I sound like a stupid, but I`m new in this kind
of work.

RE: BTU Flow in a flexible connector
In engineering flow calculations you'll usually be looking at either a volume flow rate or a mass flow rate. Then if you know the gas you can convert it for that specific gas to BTU's. The HVAC guys have a bunch of shortcuts, tables, and graphs to take a specific gas with a specific pressure and temperature through a specified conduit. You might look in some of the HVAC fora if you want to skip the fluid-flow math and just get an answer.
