LBS of C02 equation
(variable/1,000,000) x BTU input
% of C02
CO2/ total dry gases X100 (Don’t multiply by 100 if you do not want percent)
% of 02
02/ total dry gases X100 (Don’t multiply by 100 if you do not want percent)
What is the first equation for on the Gas formulae sheet
Q=CFM x 1.2 x deltaT
DFMUA for BTU
Steps for finding water produced
Divide BTU by CV (1000 or 2500)
Multiple by H20 produced (4 for propane 2 for NG)
divide by expansion ratio (1700)
Multiply by Us gal or Imperial Gas (7.48 US gal 6.24 Imperial Gal)
Absolute Zero
460 and 273
Atmospheric pressure
14.73 or 101.325
Second equation in Gas formulae sheet
Orifice flow (In gas code)
Q=flow
K factor
Area
delta P pressure drop across burners (Psi or “w.c)
SG- Specific gravity (.6 or 1.51)
(1psi is 27.08 inches water column)
How many Inches water column is 1 PSI
27.7
What is the variable change equation for orifice flow
Q2/Q1= K2/K1 X A2/A1 X square rootDeltaP2/DeltaP1 X squarerootSG1/SG2
Notice SG is flipped*
Expansion Of NG
600
Expansion of Propane
270
Expansion rate for steam to water
1700
How to transpose the orfice flow equation easily
Q divided by full equation = what your looking for
Third equation on list is for what
Clocking a meter
Q= Flow rate (Multiply but CV to get BTU)
t=rotation time in seconds
v-Dial size
PL- inlet pressure
PA- Sea level pressure
PS- Sea level pressure
TA 60 degrees
TS- Absolute
TA(bottom) Gas Temp
T- Absolute
Imperial gal

Forth Equation on Gas formulae sheet
P1 X V1 / T1 = P2 X V2 / T 2 OR
P1 X T2 X V1 = P2 x T1 X V2
DFMUA Velocity equation
Velocity= T1 plus absolute / T2 plus absolute
muliplied by V2
Correction temp equation
60 plus absolute / wrong temp plus absolute
(460 or 273)
Correction pressure equation
wrong press + absolute / absolute
(14.73 or 101.325)
