How should the vapor pipe at the top of a distillation tower be designed?

How is the diameter of the vapor pipe at the top of a distillation column determined? Is it based on the kinetic energy factor? What is the appropriate range for this kinetic energy factor? Thank you!
"The kinetic energy factor” – I really didn’t know about it when calculating pipes! ““Diameter of the vapor pipe at the top of the distillation tower” – For more accurate calculation of pipeline resistance, it’s sufficient to estimate it using empirical velocity values! The common empirical flow velocity values are available in the chemical engineering design handbook!
