Problem with some definitions for Flare stacks and total pressure drop

Problem with some definitions for Flare stacks and total pressure drop

Problem with some definitions for Flare stacks and total pressure drop

(OP)
Hi everybody!!!

Can anyone tell me the real meaning of these concepts:

-Double Dual Thermocouple (it is for Pilot)(It means that it is "2" thermocouple or what????
-Noise Maps
These correspond to flare topics.

And how can I calculate "Total Pressure Drop" on a flare stack?, I have total height and diameter but I need to calculate total pressure drop.

Thank you so much.

RE: Problem with some definitions for Flare stacks and total pressure drop

probably 2 x thermocouples packaged together.
Noise maps are plots of dB sound levels eminating from the burning flare jet.
You'll also need to get a similar radient energy map.
To get the pressure drop, you'll need the maximum flowrate and pressure losses factors across all components.
