"A Simple Numerical Method for Gas/Vapor Flow in a Safety Valve".
(OP)
I was wondering if anyone had the relevant excel spreadsheet regarding the below FAQ
FAQ1203-1293: A Simple Numerical Method for Gas/Vapor Flow in a Safety Valve: A Simple Numerical Method for Gas/Vapor Flow in a Safety Valve
I was having trouble calculating all the values. I can't seem to figure out how to calculate the flow rate, temperature, and density. I know it says PVT relationships are used, but I still have too many unknown variables. Any help is appreciated.

I think I posted an errata, but maybe not. I'm one off on the maximum G. When G decreased I should have backed up a step for the maximum. I didn't. Maybe I'll fix that one day, but for all practical purposes it's close enough.
Good luck,

there are several threads discussing this topic at eng-tips,
see for example
http://www.eng-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=329093
which includes a Excel page to simulate the PSV as isentropic nozzle,
the method (based on rigorous API HEM procedure) is not too different from that described in FAQ and results are (usually) very close to the method included in library (analytical solution).
