Question

Flow rate calculation of cooling water in bioreactor

Answer 1

Explanation:

Divide the cooling rate that you need, measured in British thermal units (BTUs) per hour by this answer.

For example, if the chiller must absorb 3,840,000 BTUs each hour: 3,840,000 ÷ 13,000 = 295.4.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Multiply this answer by 500, a figure that takes into account water's specific heat capacity: 26 × 500 = 13,000. Divide the cooling rate that you need, measured in British thermal units (BTUs) per hour by this answer. For example, if the chiller must absorb 3,840,000 BTUs each hour: 3,840,000 ÷ 13,000 = 295.4
