Calculate Gas Rate Using Choke Equation Texas A & I Model

Texas A & I

0. 60537×Cd× A×WHP
Qg =
√ γ g×( WHT +460 )

where :
Qg=gas flow rate, Mscf/d
Cd=0 . 83(avg . discharge coefficient )
A =choke area, sq . inch
WHP=flowing wellhead pressure, psia
WHT =flowing wellhead temperature, deg . F
γ g = gas gravity ( air=1)
