Thanks for your thoughts. I've been reluctant to go through the rigor of dynamic simulation since the expected behavior of the drum vapor generation in this situation (lost feed and raising pressure) is poorly chracterized and clarely dominates. Thanks for your help.
For those refinery engineers with Delayed or fluid cokers, I'm interested in basis used for releif evaluations from main fractionator. The Sengupta and Staats approach leads to relief rates in excess of normal drum vapor rate (plus emergency steam). While this approach has technical merit, it...
