By-Pass Factor of Heating Coil Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

By Pass Factor = exp(-(Overall Heat Transfer Coefficient*Surface Area of Coil)/(Mass of Air*Specific Heat Capacity))
BPF = exp(-(U*A_c)/(m_air*c))
This formula uses 1 Functions, 5 Variables

Functions Used

exp - n an exponential function, the value of the function changes by a constant factor for every unit change in the independent variable., exp(Number)

Variables Used

By Pass Factor - By Pass Factor is the inability of a coil to cool or heat the air to its temperature.
Overall Heat Transfer Coefficient - (Measured in Watt per Square Meter per Kelvin) - Overall heat transfer coefficient is the overall convective heat transfer between a fluid medium (a fluid) and the surface (wall) flowed over by the fluid.
Surface Area of Coil - (Measured in Square Meter) - The Surface Area of Coil is the total area of the coil through which any fluid passes.
Mass of Air - (Measured in Kilogram) - Mass of Air is both a property of air and a measure of its resistance to acceleration when a net force is applied.
Specific Heat Capacity - (Measured in Joule per Kilogram per K) - Specific Heat Capacity is the heat required to raise the temperature of the unit mass of a given substance by a given amount.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Overall Heat Transfer Coefficient: 50 Watt per Square Meter per Kelvin --> 50 Watt per Square Meter per Kelvin No Conversion Required
Surface Area of Coil: 64 Square Meter --> 64 Square Meter No Conversion Required
Mass of Air: 6 Kilogram --> 6 Kilogram No Conversion Required
Specific Heat Capacity: 4.184 Kilojoule per Kilogram per K --> 4184 Joule per Kilogram per K (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

BPF = exp(-(U*A_c)/(m_air*c)) --> exp(-(50*64)/(6*4184))

Evaluating ... ...

What is By-pass factor?

The inability of a coil to cool or heat the air to its temperature is indicated by a factor called the by-pass factor (BPF) or Coil Bypass Factor. This inability is due to the coil inefficiency and some amount of air just bypassing the coil without getting affected by it. A coil with low BPF has better performance. BPF can also be defined as the ratio of air that is unaffected by the coil to the total quantity of air passing over the coil.
