FLASH DRUM DESIGN Dimensional analysis for drag: Force is dependent on velocity, cross sectional area, density and viscosity. f a ( Fdrag , vd , A, ρV , μ ) = 0 Two nondimensional numbers:

Re =

vd A / π

CD =

Fdrag 1 ρV Avd2 2

Therefore

f b (Re, CD ) = 0 Thus

is a function of the particle Reynolds number. Î

FLASH DRUM DESIGN But, what Rd should be used? The criteria is that 5% of the liquid is entrained.

1 h f = 12"+ diameter of feedline 2 Again, why 2ft? (Residence Time, Failure Analysis, Other Control issues?)

FLASH DRUM DESIGN Final considerations IF

L < D

IF

L > D

5 Use horizontal drum (Why???)

Different design protocol: Why?
