How to determine the tower diameter
Thread Content
Design parameters: Operating pressure: 1.0 MPa, Design pressure: 1.1 MPa, Operating temperature: 270°C, Design temperature: 300°C, Material: Shift gas, PC solution, Welding coefficient: 1, Design wind pressure: 300 N/m2, Earthquake intensity: 8, Corrosion allowance: 3 mm, Site category: II, Shell material: 16MnR, Skirt seat material: Q235-A. Only the design parameters above are provided. I would like to ask the experts how to determine the tower diameter based on these values? Urgent! Urgent! Urgent! ! !

The tower diameter cannot be determined from the data above, as there is no material flow rate data. What are the flow rates of the transformed gas and the PC solution? Then, process calculations are carried out to determine the tower diameter, which is done by the process engineering team.
With the above parameters incomplete, it is not possible to determine the tower diameter.
The parameters provided by the poster cannot determine the tower diameter, as the most fundamental parameter for determining it – namely, the gas and liquid flow rates – has not been given.
The tower diameter is calculated based on process conditions (production capacity, properties of the material, etc.); the data you provided cannot be used for such calculations.
The poster should request all the data from the client; only then can the engineering team calculate and determine the tower diameter.
Do you work in equipment design? When we design construction drawings for equipment, the condition diagrams are generally very detailed. You need to include all the relevant conditions; we can then learn together how to carry out the calculations
The tower diameter can be calculated in any way; what’s needed are the process parameters for conducting mass and heat balance calculations
I also want to learn*learn*: lol. Could some expert please explain in detail what process parameters are needed to design a tower, as well as the detailed calculation process? It would be great if an example could be given
The most important piece of information that hasn’t been provided is the amount of material. I study chemical engineering and process technology; it can be said that the parameters you’ve given are completely useless when determining the tower diameter, as the basis for determining the tower diameter is the material flow rate
The tower diameter is determined through process calculations; it’s settled during the calculations part of the process package
∏ /4D^2U = VD, where D is the tower diameter, V is the volumetric flow rate of the gas mixture under operating conditions, and u is the empty tower gas velocity. Therefore, it is necessary to know the processing capacity first; determining the empty tower gas velocity is key
The tower diameter needs to be determined through process design: victory:
The tower diameter needs to be determined through process calculations; we learned this in Chemical Engineering Principles before: lol
To determine the tower diameter through hydraulic calculations of the tower, the following parameters are required: gas phase volumetric flow rate, gas phase density, liquid phase volumetric flow rate, liquid phase density, and liquid phase surface tension
The above data is not sufficient to determine the tower diameter. Without a basis in process design, it’s simply impossible for us to start working on the equipment. Alternatively, the required volume should be specified directly. Is this related to some course assignment given by the teacher? There should be parameters available; please get in touch
The owner needs to specify the material processing volume and the processing requirements; that’s all that’s needed. As for the conditions provided by the owner, they can only be used for strength calculations
