Hi all,
Does anyone have any experience handling hydrocarbons in a hx near (below) the critical point. The fluid conditions (85F, 650 psig) is near the critical point (715 psig, 93F)
Q1: As the densities of the fluid are close 17.7 lb/ft3 (liquid), 7 lb/ft3 (gas), surface tension of .5 dyne/cm, will there be a clear separation between the two phases.
Q2: Will high froth/foaming be expected. What would you recommend for the froth height for HTRI.
Q3: I looked at sizing a meshpad but the density difference was so close the size was not reasonable.
Thank you
