Hello, I'm a recent Mechanical Engineering graduate being tasked with calculating the required vent size for a storage tank at an engineering company I am interning at. Basically I need to create an excel spreadsheet where I input data about the tank i.e height, diameter, etc and be able to propose dimensions for a gooseneck venting system.
I have obtained copies of technical papers API 2000 and Crane TP-410, and I'm not sure which equations to use as I am new to chemical engineering but have a basic understanding of fluid flow.
I have looked at some forums and technical papers and have been able to calculate thermal inbreathing and outbreathing for a hypothetical tank.
If anyone could give me an idea on where to start on how to calculate the vent size for a storage tank I'd be very grateful
Thank you
