Worked Example
Verified calculation
Given:
- Annual Wet Biomass Yield = 120000
- Mass Fraction Moisture Content = 0.5
- Operational Availability Factor = 1
Expected Result:
- Annual Available Dry Mass Flow Rate = 60000
Engineering Interpretation:
Under the given input conditions, the calculated result is: Annual Available Dry Mass Flow Rate = 60000 kg/year.
The actual numerical result is computed by the Runtime engine using the persisted tool definition. The values shown here come from automatically validated test cases.
Formula / Method
annual available dry mass flow rate = annual wet biomass yield * (1 - mass fraction moisture content) * operational availability factorAnnual Available Dry Mass Flow Rate.
