Nozzle Orientation
Nozzle Orientation
(OP)
Hi,
I have a query.
In a thermosyphon reboiler what is a better option for nozzle orientation i.e. whether the liquid inlet nozzle shall be radial or axial?
How much difference will the nozzle orientation make in the actual design of the reboiler.
Thanks in advance.

RE: Nozzle Orientation
So it does make a lot of difference if you mix up the nozzle locations.

My reboiler is vertical thermosyphon type.
Can you throw some more light as to why radial nozzle is not acceptable in the vertical thermosyphon type ?
If I am not wrong, we can reduce the elevation of the vertical thermosyphon reboiler by providing a radial inlet nozzle.
Thanks once again.

Bingo...!
I am referring to the same arrangemnet.
My query is, what difference does it make if the inlet nozzle orientation is radial instead of axial as show in the figure.
Thanks a ton in advance.

As for the piping design, there is a famous R.Kern's article printed in 1975 August edition of Chemical Engineering at http://www.oocities.org/thegossipsite/How_to_Desig...
