Restriction Orifice

This document provides information about orifice area, specific heat, critical pressure ratio, and mass flow rate for an orifice. It also includes calculations for orifice diameter based on input temperature, pressures, molar flow, mass flow, density, specific heat ratio, downstream pressure, and differential pressure. The calculations determine if flow is choked or non-choked, orifice flow coefficient, diameter to pipe ratio, expansion factor, and resultant mass flow rates.
