It is an orifice plate and has multiple holes (as i mentioned in my first post).
I know the pressure that is to be maintained downstream of the orifice...I have to size the orifice and check how much is the back pressure in the nozzle and check upstream pressure required...the criteria is that...
Application is crude and steam are passed through a nozzle...which has an orifice at the outlet of the nozzle...downstream pressure of nozzle is fixed..
Hello
I have to calculate area required for an orifice . The downstream pressure is fixed. The flow is a multiphase flow of crude and steam.(Crude flowrate = 2000kg/hr and steam is 50kg/hr) If any standard sizing procedure is available, can anyone please share it ?
And can this be simulated in...
yes...For U-tube we need to have a minimum of 2 passes...the 1-shell, 1-tube pass I did is also a fixed tube exchanger...
that is why I had a doubt if 1-shell, 1-tube pass can be used or not
thank you @christine
Yes
Coming to pump and piping...actually hot oil is one heating medium we are considering...there are 3 more (steam, electric and feed/product heat integration)...so i think once the heating medium is finalized we have to look pump requirement !! This project is being done by other department...
Thank you for your prompt response @1503-44
Actually I wanted to decrease the number of tubes...not increase them...so which would be a better option ? reducing the hot oil flowrate ?
And I have done the simulation using 1-shell, 2-tube pass...it is showing temperature cross because the outlet...
Hello...
I am running EDR for the first time...I need to heat a heavy stream of crude from 150 to 240 C....Different heating mediums are being considered and one among them is hot oil...I know the hot oil inlet and outlet temperatures...I am estimating the hot oil flowrate required using a...
