Question

To obtain the cubic feet per hour of fuel gas required for any gas appliance, what should be done?

1) Measure the gas pressure and convert it to cubic feet per hour
2) Measure the gas temperature and convert it to cubic feet per hour
3) Measure the gas flow rate and convert it to cubic feet per hour
4) Measure the gas volume and convert it to cubic feet per hour

Answer 1

To obtain cubic feet per hour of gas for an appliance, measure the gas flow rate and convert it to cubic feet per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

To answer the student's question, to obtain the cubic feet per hour of fuel gas required for any gas appliance, the correct action would be to:

1. Measure the gas flow rate and convert it to cubic feet per hour.

This method involves directly measuring how much gas passes a certain point in a given time and then converting this measurement to the desired units of cubic feet per hour. None of the other options provide a direct way to measure the gas flow rate and convert it to cubic feet per hour.

For example, if a gas meter reads in cubic meters, you would convert those readings to cubic feet, and then further convert it to an hourly rate.
