Calculation of liquid level evaporation rate in storage tanks
Thread Content
There is a storage tank with a diameter of 4 meters, used to store aromatic compounds. The tank is insulated, and the temperature inside it is around 50°C. Liquid enters the tank and also exits it, with equal amounts entering and leaving. How can the amount of gas generated by the evaporation of this liquid as it flows within the tank be calculated?
If the pressure inside the tank remains stable with no breathing, evaporation is in dynamic equilibrium and does not require calculation. For vaporization losses, considering both large and small breaths is sufficient
There is basically no significant variation in breathing volume, as the temperature remains constant. Since the material enters and exits at the same time, it is necessary to take into account disturbances in the flow of the material as well as the amount of evaporation that occurs due to the liquid surface itself; however, I’m not sure how to calculate this
