Hi,
I am an entry level engineer. I am trying to better understand the design process of the sizing and criteria of selection. So far I have researched a lot of material and most of it says "assume" a value for something or the other. Is that because it has been working for a long time and so people are going with it? I tried asking most of the people here and either they are busy or say I will still have time. It would be really helpful if there is a spreadsheet that sizes both vertical and horizontal seperators. most of the RFQ's we get have oil flow rate, liquid out in barrels per day and to assume 0-100% water out. and the sp gravity of the liquid. I am interested in knowing the process side of the calculations as to how people come with where a oil bucket is placed in the design and where a vane section is placed. Any help would be really helpful and the more knowledge I get, the more I will be able to contribute to this community.
Thanks,
Rahul
