Process calculation for buffer tanks
Thread Content
Seeking help: For a nitrogen buffer tank, the process specifies an air flow rate of 20,000 Nm3/h; the tank’s volume is 100 m3. I need to know the factors related to the diameter of the inlet pipe, as well as how to calculate the safety valve size
The pipe diameter is determined based on an inlet and outlet flow rate of 10 m/s. Safety is calculated based on the air intake volume.
The pressure could be 0.8 MPa, 2.5 MPa, or 5.5 MPa – is the flow rate calculated the same for these different pressures? Where can I find references for this?
Where did I see this? Is there any relevant document? I’d like one
