Liquid-liquid separator design

Thread Content

On page 1007 of Volume 1 of the fifth edition of the \"Handbook of Chemical Process Design,\" information on the design of tanks in engineering is provided, but there are several points that are not clear. I hope experts can offer some guidance: 1. In section 2.3.1, definitions for the dispersed phase and the continuous phase are not given. Could we use the definitions from \"Practical Process Design for Chemical Plants\" (Volume 1) as a reference? 2. When performing calculations on the equipment itself, the flow rate Q of the \"liquid\", its relative density S, and viscosity are all relevant; it is necessary to specify whether this \"liquid\" is a light phase, a heavy phase, a dispersed phase, or a continuous phase 3. Is there a standard for distinguishing between viscous and non-viscous “liquids” here? I hope that fellow users who have unique insights or successful cases in designing such liquid-liquid separation tanks can offer their recommendations. PS: If fellow sailors are not very clear about this, please do not reply, as there are indeed many misleading posts.
