ideal gas mixing volumetric flowrate calculation
ideal gas mixing volumetric flowrate calculation
(OP)
Two ideal gas mixture inlet flowstreams are joined to form an exiting third ideal gas flowstream mixture, no reactions involved. The pressures and temperatures of the three streams are different. The mass flowrates of the two inlet streams added together equals the mass flowrate of the exiting stream. The actual volumetric flowrate of each inlet stream is measured. The actual volumetric flowrate of each inlet stream can be converted to a volumetric flowrate at standard temperature and pressure using the corresponding actual pressure and temperature measurements of each inlet stream. If I add the standard T&P volumetric flowrates of the inlet streams, will this sum be equal to standard T&P volumetric flowrate of the exiting stream ??.

If you add the volume flow rate at standard conditions of your two streams they should be acceptably close to the single stream.

Anyway, zdas is correct except for including zfactor on all streams, which must be applied.

450sxf,
I provide proof of my statements for paying clients when they ask (and they never do). For free you just get the opinion.
