r <br /> Assumptions <br /> The average velocity of a turbulent air stream in a pipe is equal to 0.9 <br /> that of the center-line velocity. <br /> Atmospheric pressure is 30 inches of mercury. <br /> r <br /> * Soil vapor is a ideal gas with a density equal to pure air. <br /> Variables <br /> P = Pressure of the soil vapor at the pitot tube <br /> Vp = Differential pressure measured by the pitot tube <br /> Q = Soil vapor flow rate in cubic feet per minute <br /> u = Soil vapor velocity at the pitot tube <br /> A = Cross-sectional area of the pipe interior <br /> D = Inside diameter of pipe <br /> e = Soil vapor density <br /> r Pb = Absolute static pressure of soil vapor at the pitot tube <br /> T = Absolute temperature of the soil vapor at the pitot tube <br /> T, = Temperature of the soil vapor at the pitot tube <br /> I <br /> Calculations <br /> A = (pi)R2 (Inches) <br /> Pb = 30-V (Inches of Hg) <br /> T = T, +460 (Degrees Rankine) <br /> e = 1 .325(Pb/T) <br /> u = 1 ,096.2(Vp/e)112 (u in feet/minute) <br /> Q = uA (Q is in cubic feet per minute) <br /> VOC Extraction Calculation <br /> The mass of VOC extracted and produced by the SVS may be estimated by <br /> multiplying the number of moles of gas flowing through the system per day by the <br /> atomic number of each constituent. An example calculation from a spreadsheet is <br /> attached. <br /> i <br /> i <br /> i <br /> i <br /> i <br />
