Volumetric flow rate at the throat of a Shell process venturi
Thread Content
What is the typical design value for the gas flow velocity at the throat of a Venturi in shell process applications, in m/s? Has anyone calculated it? What principle is used to determine this flow rate? Let’s discuss this, thank you!
I’ve seen that in some materials the throat diameter is calculated based on the flow rate of liquids, and I’m also wondering if there is a range for gas flow rates; it seems that the flow rates vary greatly depending on functions such as washing or dust removal
The flow velocity in the throat depends on the diameter of the throat; generally, the pressure difference is kept below 60 KPa, with a flow velocity of around 40 m/s.
Is there any practical operational experience?
