    Pressure Autoclave Vent Gas Flowrate Calculation

    Hi, I am trying to determine the expected vent gas flowrates for a Nickel Laterite pressure leaching autoclave. The current pressure control valve is inoperable, as it is too large and vents too much gas when open, making pressure control difficult. I have determined that N2 is negligible in...
