This section describes the equations for calculating molar flow rates from various flow meters. After you calibrate a flow meter according to § 1065.640, use the calculations described in this section to calculate flow during an emission test.

(a)PDP molar flow rate. (1) Based on the speed at which you operate the PDP for a test interval, select the corresponding slope, a

1, and intercept, a

0, as calculated in § 1065.640, to calculate PDP molar flow rate,, as follows:

(2)Calculate V

rev using the following equation:

(b)SSV molar flow rate. Calculate SSV molar flow rate, n

, as follows:

Using Eq. 1065.640-7, r

ssv = 0.997

Using Eq. 1065.640-6, C

f = 0.274

Using Eq. 1065.640-5, C

d = 0.990

(c)CFV molar flow rate. If you use multiple venturis and you calibrate each venturi independently to determine a separate discharge coefficient, C

d (or calibration coefficient, K

v), for each venturi, calculate the individual molar flow rates through each venturi and sum all their flow rates to determine CFV flow rate, n

. If you use multiple venturis and you calibrated venturis in combination, calculate n

using the sum of the active venturi throat areas as A

t, the square root of the sum of the squares of the active venturi throat diameters as d

t, and the ratio of the venturi throat to inlet diameters as the ratio of the square root of the sum of the active venturi throat diameters (d

t) to the diameter of the common entrance to all the venturis (D).

(1)To calculate n

through one venturi or one combination of venturis, use its respective mean C

d and other constants you determined according to § 1065.640 and calculate n

as follows:

(2)To calculate the molar flow rate through one venturi or a combination of venturis, you may use its respective mean, K

v, and other constants you determined according to § 1065.640 and calculate its molar flow rate n

during an emission test. Note that if you follow the permissible ranges of dilution air dewpoint versus calibration air dewpoint in Table 3 of § 1065.640, you may set M

mix-cal and M

mix equal to 1. Calculate n

as follows:
