It is customary to express the energy contained in a fluid in terms of the potential energy contained in an equivalent height or “head” of…
The ASME code requires every pressure vessel that can be blocked In to have a relief valve to alleviate pressure build up due to thermal…
In condensate stabilizers, trays generally have 70% equilibrium stage efficiency. That is, 1.4 actual trays are required to provide one theoretical stage. The spacing between…
In large facilities oil is typically sold through a LACT unit, which is designed to meet API Standards and whatever additional measuring and sampling standards…
The question always comes up of which fluid to put in the tubes and which fluid to put in the shell. Consider placing a fluid…
Head Bernoulli is a term that refers to the total energy of a fluid at a given point in a steady flow system. It consists…
Heat-exchanger tubes should not be confused with steel pipe or other types of pipe that are extruded to steel pipe sizes. The outside diameter of…
In specifying the size of a treater, it is necessary to determine the diameter (d), length or height of the coalescing section (Leff or h),…
The molecular weight of the stream is calculated from the weighted average gas molecular weight given by: The molecular weight of the gas stream of…
In the gravity settling section the liquid drops will settle at a velocity determined by equating the gravity force on the drop with the drag…
