May I ask how to determine the residence time for containers such as gas mixing tanks/gas separators?
Thread Content
For example, when designing a fuel mixer tank with a pressure of 0.5 MPa, is the residence time only a few seconds?
I don’t understand what the concept of residence time is; it’s not a term used in the field of containers, right?
The residence time of the medium in the device is independent of pressure, and is determined by the diameters of the inlet and outlet pipes as well as the pressure difference across them.
There should be no issue with residence time here; the only concern is the speed of gas flow. At the smallest cross-sectional area of the channels within the container, the F factor is not greater than 5.
I still don’t understand. Could you explain it in more detail?
I agree with what was said on the 4th floor. If what the original poster is referring to is the time that the gas stays inside the tank, then this has nothing to do with pressure; it depends only on the length of the pathway through which the gas flows within the tank. However, based on the original poster’s description, it seems that the purpose is merely to mix the gases. This is related to the flow rate and channel area.
