*Properties of water vapour are obtained considering the process conditions in the vessel
It is assumed that the operating conditions in the drum does not give room for much water to sti
vapour phase. Much of the steam coming from the overhead air coolers is condensed in the reflu
the rest is condensed in the trim cooler downstream of the reflux drum. On this note the vessel
not factoring in the volume occupied by water vapour in the drum

14. Calculate the settling velocities of the heavy liquid out of the light phase UHL
ks= 0.163
UHL= 7.1753932626
15. Calculate the settling time of the heavy liquid out of the light liquid phase
tHL= 9.7603658165
16. Calculate the residence time of the light liquid
LL= 9.0266045008
17. From 15 and sixteen above the light liquid does not stay long enough for the heavly liquid to settle
long enough. This will require adding to the length of the drum
L= 13.6499014523
18. Calculate L/D. If L/D << 1.5 then decrease D if it is not at minimum. If L/D >>6.0 then decrease D
