Greetings, 

 

Is there any specific equation to calculate the relief load (Vertical Mixing Vessel) for the fire case? Approximate the vessel wetted surface area by using a cylinder around the dished ends. 

 

Also, how we can calculate the relief valve area for the fire case? 

 

Thanks!

Why, as a student, are you interested in such? And you have obviously done no research. The best lesson you can learn is to first, do some work. Then ask questions about what you don't understand.

 

Good luck in your studies.

Breizh:

 

Many thanks for reply. I really find the material you provided is very helpful! 

 

I almost find what I need, but I have question to confirm my understanding; 

I used to find the wetted area this equation since the question mentioned (Approximate the vessel wetted surface area by using a cylinder around the dished ends) 

 

Awett=PI*D*Feff 

 

 

then to find Feff I used this equation:

 

Feff= min(25 ft;F) - H

 

Regarding (F) is it the maximum liq level(trip) or the vessel length ? 

 

Thanks!

  Many thanks for your reply. It's not part of our course, but the instructor gives us a challenging question with limited time to answer. Yes, it supposes to do some research first. Sorry for that!

Hi,

F is the liquid level .

Take a look at the 2 nd document , you will find an example .

Good luck

For vertical tank/vessel we use 85% LL unless there’s a good reason not to.

Many thanks I see the example 7.4.10.11. but I have question how calculated the free surface of Benzene 32 ft over the ground.
