Valve orifice kinetic energy factor
Thread Content
I would like to ask: in tower design verification software such as Soucol and KG-Tower, what area is used to calculate the velocity in the valve orifice kinetic energy factor? For example ； For bubble cap trays, is the valve orifice area based on the gap area (gap width * gap height), or the open gap area (gap opening * gap width)? ； For example ； For fixed-valve trays, is the valve hole area based on the open area, or on the sum of the areas on both sides of the valve? Floating valve. . . . Are there any English-language publications on area benchmarks? Please, experts, let me know! ! ! !
It is generally calculated based on the area of the openings in the tray
Agree with the person above; it should be calculated based on the opening area of the tray!
Yes, I also think it is calculated based on the area of the openings in the tray.
