Because low flows are difficult to control and measure, it is often advantageous to set a higher
total flow than needed. In this example, we will let F
T
= 2750 cm3/min
2. Determine the highest NO concentration, [NO]
OUT
, required at the output manifold, using
Equation 7-2:
[NO]
OUT
= 0.5 ppm (90/100) = 0.45 ppm
3. Calculate the NO flow (F
