A coolant with specific gravity 1.2 is pumped through a heat exchanger and control valve at a nominal flow rate of q=158gpm. The total pressure drop across the entire system is 450kPa. The pressure drop across the entire system without the valve is 380kPa. a. Calculate the valve capacity coefficient for 50% overcapacity. b. According to the attached table of valve capacity coefficients, would a 4 valve with a 3.5 orifice be able to accommodate this process at 50% travel? Why or why not? CV and FL versus travel Direction: FLOW-TO-OPEN (FTO) Contoured Trim Flow Characteristic: UNEAR
