exp - Exponential function, exp(Number)

Variables Used

Overall heat transfer coefficient - 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. (Measured in Watt per Meter² per K)
Surface area of coil - The surface area of coil is the total area of the coil through which any fluid passes. (Measured in Square Meter)
Mass of air - Mass of air is both a property of air and a measure of its resistance to acceleration when a net force is applied. (Measured in Kilogram)
Specific Heat Capacity - Specific Heat Capacity is the heat required to raise the temperature of the unit mass of a given substance by a given amount. (Measured in Kilojoule per Kilogram per K)

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Overall heat transfer coefficient: 50 Watt per Meter² per K --> 50 Watt per Meter² per K No Conversion Required
Surface area of coil: 80 Square Meter --> 80 Square Meter No Conversion Required
Mass of air: 14.7 Kilogram --> 14.7 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*80)/(14.7*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.
