Hi All
For a project, i am dealing with a gas which is entrained with solid particles. The flow rate of the gas is 500 kg/hr. Density of solid laden gas is around 5 Kg/m3(say) at operating temperature and pressure.
I want to do a prliminary estimate of the separator vessel's diameter.
I am thinking of applying the following methodology for the same:
Volumetric flow rate = Area x Velocity
Is the above methodology correct?
If yes, than what should be the velocity of the gas ?
Should it be the same as the velocity , i have used to determine pipe size which is around 15 m/sec(assumed).??
Is there any relation to determine velocity like we have Souder's-Brown equation for Vapor-liquid separation.??
Thanks in advance.
