Relief valve method above critical temperature/pressure 1

[jamesbanda]

dear all,

i've encountered a case of relief pressure above the critical point. If i treat the valve as normal, heat to near critical pressure take that latent heat then create a relief load the rate is very high.

i've heard of a reference by crawford and russel on sizing safety reliefs above critical temp but ive strugged to locate it would appriecate advice on this topic..
