    This document discusses the design of a flash drum, including considerations for its dimensions and calculations. It describes setting the diameter (D) based on permitted vapor velocity using a correlation for drag coefficient as a function of Reynolds number. The vapor and liquid heights (hV and hL) are typically set as 36 inches and based on a 2 minute residence time. The flooded height (hf) is typically 2 feet. The total length (L) is the sum of these heights. For shorter vessels where L<D, the pool volume may be increased, and for longer vessels where L>D, a horizontal drum design would be used instead.

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

    Re =
    Therefore

    vd A /

    CD =

    Fdrag 1 2 V Avd 2

    f b (Re, CD ) = 0
    Thus

    CD =

    FD 1 2 V Avd 2

    = f c (Re)

    CD

    is a function of the particle Reynolds number.

    8 gRd K= 3 f c (Re)

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

    Thus

    K =e

    A+ B ln Flv + C (ln Flv )2 + d (ln Flv )3 + E (ln Flv ) 4

    ; Flv = WL L V V

    were obtained

    fitting experimental data. Therefore

    Demisters should take care of 4% (or less) of the 5%.

    1 hV = 36"+ diameter of feedline 2
    Who came up with this rule and why? What is so magic about 3 ft? (Room for demister?)

    1 h f = 12"+ diameter of feedline 2


    Again, why 2ft? (Residence Time, Failure Analysis, Other Control issues?)

    hL =
    Finally:

    V pool

    D2

    or ~2 minutes residence time. Nozzle size

    L = hV + h f + hL

    Final considerations IF

    L < D L > D

    3 increase Vpool (Why???)

    IF

    5 Use horizontal drum (Why???)

    Different design protocol: Why?
