RE: How to calculate pressure drop in t
Reference: Carl Branan, "Rules of Thumb for Chemical Engineers", 2nd edition, Gulf Publishing,1998.page 131
Pressure drop equals pressure drop over inlet nozzle plus pressure drop over vapor outlet nozzle plus pressure drop over mist eliminator (if provided).
Pressure drop over inlet nozzle (assuming no special devices fitted) is appr. 0.5 x density x velocity2
Pressure drop over vapor outlet nozzle is appr. 0.25 x density x velocity2
Where: pressure drop is in Pascal (=0.00001 bar)
density is in kg/m3
velocity is in m/s
For inlet nozzle you should use the mixed phase density and velocity, for outlet nozzle you should use the vapour density and velocity.
Pressure drop over mist eliminator is appr. 1 inch of water. This is about 250 Pa, so 0.0025 bar

Thanks for the very useful info.

Does it mean that there is no press drop in the vessel, other than mesh and i/l & o/l nozzles.
Thanks in advance.

Of course, it is based on the assumption that there are no internals in the vessel, apart from the mesh.
