    NPSHr and pump suction specific speed(S)/pump operating speed relation

    Dear expert I have some questions below. 1. Suction specific speed of pump and pump operating speed is the same thing or different. It should be different, and what is the relationship between these two characters? 2. As we increase the pump operating speed, the Reynolds no will increase, and...

    Bad result or not if Ethylene oxide react with water

    Sory to bother you this trivail. Ethaonlamine are produce by reaction of ethylene oxice and ammonia. The water increases the reaction rate of EO with ammonia and amines so water can be considerd as a catalyst for reaction. If using water instead of air to purge the EO pipe in the commisioning...

    Calculating the Entrainment From Vaporizer

    I have tried to figure out how to get the entrainment from the vaprozer. In this process, the multicomponent feed reactor is vaporize in the system shown in the attached graph. Liquid reactant feed enters a horizontal kettle vaporizer that is heat by a process stream. Vapor goes to a knockout...

    Batch Alkoxylations reaction heat transfer delay question

    Alkoxylations are commonly performed in industry for the production of surfactants and polyglycols by means of a simple semi-batch liquid-stirred reactor During the EO addition to reactor, pressure will increase due to the EO vapour partial pressure and the compression of the nitrogen present in...

    Vacuum system hydraulic calculation

    I tried to do the condenser vacuum hydraulic check, but I don’t how to start it. It seems very dumb cause I know this similar topic has discuss a lot in the forum. Please bear with me. My goal is to (1.) calculate the min. elevation of the reactor condenser? (2) calculate the height of flooding...

    mutiple steam ejector valve open sequence query

    I have a recactor, condensor, and vaccum steam ejector. temperature. The operation manual is written in the following: 1. waits until pressure in the Reactor is less than 150 mbara and then opens XV-B (steam to the second ejector stage). 2. Then the sequence waits until pressure in Reactor is...

    reboiler control query

    Reboiler controls can be classified into flow controls and temperature controls as shown in Fig. 4-9 (a) and Fig. 4-9 (b).(please see the attachment) Which should be used depends on the purpose and conditions of the tower. The problem here is the flow measuring point and the location of the...

    the transmitter and valve as a 1oo2 trip architecture query

    I have a transmitter and its signal will be used as a second shutdown input with 1oo2 voting and the control valve will be used as a second shutdown mechanism. (Pls see the attachement Figure 15-3.) common equipment is used, the BPCS cannot be considered an independent layer of protection. It is...

    Temerature High/Low alarm setting question

    I have a tank with how water supply/return through the tank. The tank OT=60 degree C, and the discharge pump OT=50 degree C. I try to decide what is approiate High/Low temperature value. Could I just use High Temp alarm =70, and low temp alarm=50. But I am afraid that the low temp alarm 50...

    EO double block and bleed valves and pipe class question on the P&ID

    EO feed(OP=12 barg, OT= -25 C) to the reactor (OP=12 barg, OT=215 C),and feed line seems climb upward to the Reactor top. I am just curious why this liquid fluild piping instead of gas fluid go upward. Morever, in our process, we don’t use a triconics interlock system with at least 2 - double...

    Coriolis type flow meter vs Vortex flow meter

    Dear I would like to know which Coriolis or Vortex flow meter is better for the steam fluid and why is the reason for that. As I know vortex shedding flow meter is wildely used type of oscillaotry flow meter. The frequency of the vortex is directly proportional to the velocity of the fluid...

    D/P type level transmitter dry/wet leg and vapor pressure question

    As we know that D/P level transmitter’s sensing line going to the upper tank Connection becomes a “reference leg” of constant pressure head. Care must be taken in applying reference legs when the atmosphere may Alternate from condensing to non-condensing. So, wet-legs defines as that it Can dry...
