CO2 flow rate calculator

CO2 flow rate calculator can be used to determine the flow rate of carbon dioxide in various industrial applications such as HVAC systems, greenhouses, and industrial processes.

Input Parameters

Calculation Results

Calculation Formula

Flow Rate (ṁ) = (P × V) / (R × T)

Where:
ṁ = Mass flow rate (kg/h)
P = Pressure (PSI)
V = Volume (m³/h)
R = Specific gas constant for CO2 (0.1889 kg·m²/(h²·K·kg))
T = Temperature (K)

Results

Mass Flow Rate:

0.00 kg/h

Molar Flow Rate:

0.00 mol/h

CO2 flow rate calculator Calculator Usage Guide

Learn how to use the CO2 flow rate calculator and its working principles

How to use the calculator

  1. Enter the CO2 volume in cubic meters per hour (m³/h)
  2. Enter the pressure in PSI
  3. Enter the temperature in degrees Celsius (°C)
  4. Click the "Calculate" button to compute the mass flow rate and molar flow rate
  5. Use the reset button to clear all inputs and start over

Understanding the results

The calculator provides two types of flow rate measurements:

  • Mass Flow Rate (kg/h): This represents the mass of CO2 flowing per hour
  • Molar Flow Rate (mol/h): This represents the number of moles of CO2 flowing per hour

Applications

This calculator can be used in various applications including:

  • Designing HVAC systems for proper CO2 ventilation
  • Optimizing greenhouse gas management
  • Industrial processes requiring precise CO2 flow control
  • Environmental monitoring and carbon footprint calculations

Important notes

The calculation assumes ideal gas behavior and uses standard values for CO2 properties. For high precision applications, consult specific gas behavior data for your operating conditions.
