Figure 6-1 shows a multistage separation process. By removing molecules of the light components in the first separator they are not available to flash to…
The fraction of any one component that flashes to gas at any stage in a process is a function of the temperature, pressure, and composition…
With the known temperatures on each end of the coil, the heat duty for each coil can be calculated from the heat transfer theory. Since…
Before choosing a wall thickness it is necessary to choose a pressure rating for the coil. Typically, the high-pressure coil (L1) is rated for the…
Erosional flow criteria will almost always govern in choosing the diameter. Sometimes it is necessary to check for pressure drop in the coil. Typically, pressure…
In order to choose the coil length and diameter, a temperature must first be chosen upstream of the choke; the higher Th the longer the…
The area of the fire tube is normally calculated based on a heat flux rate of 10,000 Btu/hr-ft2. The fire-tube length can be determined from:…
Many times the designer is given the mole fraction of each component in the feed stream but is not given the mole flow rate for…
The liquid flow rate in moles per day for a given inlet stream can be determined from Equation 3-17. In our example, for an inlet…
