Imagine I have dataset of flow (mass flow and derived scfm), pressure, and temperature at specific time intervals from a compressor running throughout its full range. The fluid is natural gas, with a specific gravity of lets say 0.8. The compressor is used to depressurize a section of piping, and discharges into another section of piping that is flowing.
I want to use this data to predict or approximate the flow of air in scfm through the same unit at the same pressures, temperatures and time intervals. Is there a simple relationship between standard flows of two fluids, such as multiplying by specific gravity? Or can I use the ideal gas law in some way?
