Definicja Wobbe factor

Factor used for correcting the gas law deviation factor.

For quantity conversions with a set gas law deviation factor (DFs), DFs must be corrected with the Wobbe factor W if the actual gas has a different gas law deviation factor (DFa). In this case, W = DFs/DFa.

In order that the volume correction factor can be calculated with the actual compressibility, the portion of the set compressibility is multiplied by the Wobbe factor in the volume correction factor formula. This is represented by the following formula: (1/DFs) x W = (1/DFs) x (DFs/DFa) = 1/DFa
