Hi all

 

This is my first post, and I kinda think this is a silly question. Currently I am doing flarenet analysis to figure out the backpressure etc for my psv. Downstream of the psv has expander (6" to 10"), and usually in my previous practice, i didnt model this reducer, and straight to 10" pipe segment. But because my client wanted to do some optimization where they want to install isolation valve directly after psv outlet flange, and then expander, i need to find what is the momentum and backpressure at the isolation valve and the expander.

 

So my question is, in flarenet, how can I model the 6" to 10" expander? Can I just put 10" pipe segment and then specify the expander equivalent length to the 10" pipe segment, and also specify the K factor for the losses? Or is there any other way to approach this accurately?

 

Thank you and looking forward for the opinions from the professional over here.
