  Question

I would like to know how to size a partial combustion reactor processing methane and oxygen, as a function of the flowrate and of the pressure.

How do I design a vapor-liquid separator or a flash drum?

What are some common problems associated with bellow expansion joints?

What is the method of determining maximum differential pressure during hydrotesting of shell and tube heat exchangers?

Are there flow velocity restrictions to avoid static charge build up in pipelines?

I would like you to explain to me whether I can apply the packed tower equations (Constant of Henry, L'/ G' ratio, pressure drops,diffusivities, Shulmann correlation, etc) in my design of the cooling tower?. Could you provide the correlation/equation of L/G vs KaV/L without resort to the diagram. How should I apply the value of KaV/L in my design?.
