Air, density

The principal parameters affecting the size of droplets produced by twin-fluid atomizers have also been discussed (34). These parameters include Hquid viscosity, surface tension, initial jet diameter (or film thickness), air density, relative velocity, and air—Hquid ratio. However, these parameters may have an insignificant effect on droplet size if atomization occurs very rapidly near the atomizer exit. 

The oxygen sensor closed loop system automatically compensates for changes in fuel content or air density. For instance, the stoichiometric air/fuel mixture is maintained even when the vehicle climbs from sea level to high altitudes where the air density is lower. 

The ambieut air density is computed from the ideal gas law aud gives a result of 1.22 kg/ud. Thus... 

It is important that atmospheric conditions at the installation site be specified, since engines operate with veiy little excess combustion air and consequently maximum power output is proportional to air density. 

Cp a = specific heat of air at constant pressure AT jj = temperature rise for stoichiometric combustion D = surface average particle diameter Pa = air density Pf = fuel density

The pressure difference across the crack can result from the difference in temperature (air density) between the air inside and outside the building.. Static pressure in the vertical column of air varies with height and can be described by the following equation ... 

Typically inlet and outlet locations and heights can be obtained prior to ventilation system design from construction drawings. The static pressure difference across inlets and outlets can be calculated based on the height of the location (Fig. 7.104) and the air density at the respective height ... 

In a room with perfect mixing of the air, it theoretically does not matter where the exhaust opening is located (Fig. 8.40). In practice, air seldom mixes as completely as in theory. One reason for this is temperature differences or density differences. The contaminants are often warmer than the room air, and in some cases the density of the contaminant itself differs from the air density. These topics are treated in the later paragraphs. This paragraph will focus on isothermal, non-buoyant cases. 

The general gas laws show that air density is inversely proportional to its absolute temperature, hence,... 

In practice, the air density has to be corrected for the specific supply temperature by... 

As the air density depends on both the temperature and moisture content of the air, it is necessary to apply the general gas equation ... 

Hence, the fan pressure must not exceed the standard air density of 1.2 kg m" x25 kJ kg" , giving 30 kPa, with the pressure ratio not exceeding 1.30, taking the atmospheric pressure as 100 kPa. 

The calculation of the pressure drop for a chosen exhaust depends on the calculation method (Chapter 9). Pressure drop is usually calculated as the product of a hood entry loss factor, and the dynamic pressure in the connecting duct, p,/. The is expressed a.s p v-/l, where p is the air density and 1/ IS the air velocity in the duct. Some common hood entry loss factors are given in Table 10.4.
