How to calculate the size of a flash tank based on residence time?
The amount of vapor and the amount of liquid are calculated based on the flash pressure. Calculate the liquid phase space corresponding to this amount of liquid phase based on the residence time. The gas phase volume plus the liquid phase volume constitutes the total volume of the tank.
Could you explain in detail how to calculate the liquid phase volume corresponding to the residence time based on the liquid phase space?
Volume flow rate is obtained by multiplying the liquid phase mass flow rate by density. Volumetric flow rate * residence time is nothing but the liquid phase volume, right? Leave some margin when designing.
