I want to rapidly come to operating conditions while avoiding bumping or boilover of a batch stripper and a continuous flash evaporator, at vacuum.

Please provide rules of thumb or recommend books that discuss prevention and/or correlations to establish constraints.

I am guessing that rate of pressure change and/or heat flux would be constrained based on the physical properties of the fluid (surface tension, buoyancy, viscosity, etc) and geometry of the vessel.

Thanks for any help you can give.
