where:Pow = power absorbed, WattsQ = volumetric flow
rate of air through the orifice, m3/s
P
P is measured during the test and the volumetric flow
rate may be calculated a number of ways. Standard SI
units should be used throughout (remember to convert
pressure from mmH2O to N/m2). Using orifice theory, the
mass flow rate, m, across a venturi is given by:
where:
= pressure difference across the orifice, N/m2.
