The control valve sizing calculator given here can be used to estimate the flow coefficient or
orifice coefficient of the valve. This flow coefficient for a valve depends on type of valve, pressure
& flow conditions and desired inherent characteristic of the valve.
This is something you may need to know for your online degree program in engineering. Here is
some helpful information.
FLOW INPUTS
Pin(Inlet pressure) barg
Pout(outlet pressure) barg
T(Fluid temperature) 0
C
WL(liq mass flowrate) kg/hr
WG(vapour mass flowrate) kg/hr
Overmargin for flow %
LIQUID INPUTS
ρ (liq. density) kg/m3
PC(liq. Critical pressure) bara
PV(Vapour pressure at inlet T) bara
VAPOUR INPUTS
M(Vapour molecular weight) gm/gmole
Z (compressibility factor)
CP/CV(gamma ratio at inlet T)
VALVE SPECIFIC INPUTS (Refer to the table given below.)
Cf (Critical flow factor) 0.9
XT (Pressure drop ratio factor) 0.7
FP (Correction factor for fittings) 1
FR (Correction factor for non-turbulent flow) 1

Cvvap (vapor phase coefficient)
Cv (Overall flow coefficient)
The table given below, provides valve specific factors for a variety of valves.
