When a magnetizable solid is subjected to a magnetic induction field, the local magnetic moments are oriented in the direction of the induction fields, and…
This property of a fluid indicates its resistance to flow. It is a dynamic property, in that it can be measured only when the fluid…
In dispersed gas units gas bubbles are dispersed in the total stream either by the use of an inductor device or by a vortex set…
As with vertical two-phase separators, a minimum diameter must be maintained to assure adequate gas capacity. In addition, vertical threephase separators must maintain a minimum…
Vessel Supports Small vertical vessels may be supported by angle support legs, as shown in Figure 12-11. Larger vertical vessels are generally supported by a…
The specific gravity difference between the dispersed water droplets and the oil should result in the water “sinking” to the bottom of the treatment vessel.…
Aerial coolers are often used to cool a hot fluid to near ambient temperature. They are mechanically simple and flexible, and they eliminate the nuisance…
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…
To assure that the liquid and gas reach equilibrium at separator pressure a certain liquid storage is required. This is defined as “retention time” or…
The flow rate for gas through a given orifice area or the area required for a given flow rate is obtained by:
