If we consider a PSV as a converging diverging nozzle with sonic velocity in the throat and the outlet pressure being lower than the throat pressure, is it possible to experience supersonic velocities in the outlet line? I.e. in the same way as a Laval Nozzle.
This question has been bugging me...
Hi all
I’ve been asked by my company to research methods of predicting pressure drop for non Newtonian fluids (Bingham-Plastic Model in particular). I’ve found quite a lot of information on pressure drop in the laminar flow regime but as yet very little on turbulent flow.
Can anyone give me a...
I’ve just been asked the question if supersonic flow could occur at any point in the plant we are currently designing. I explained at no point the speed of fluid could exceed Mach 1 (chocked flow) unless flow passes though a convergent-divergent nozzle with sonic flow at the throat and the...
Hi
A post from the UK.
I’ve been asked to calculate the amount of Fuel Gas that would nee to be added to an acid gas stream to create a flammable mixture. I have a full Hysys simulation to hand so physical properties are readily available.
Any suggestions??
