Enumeration:
C. Three subcategory types of spring-loaded pressure reliefs and there use ( 2pts each )
1. Relief Valve - Primarily used for liquid service
2. Safety valve – used for gases.
3. Safety relief valve - used for liquid and gases.
PROBLEM SOLVING:
1) Determine the maximum vapor velocity in a horizontal knockout drum to dropout liquid particles with
particle diameters of 310 μm, where: (8pts)
Given:
Vapor rate = 170 lb/hr,
ρV = 0.20 lb/ft 3 ,
ρL = 30 Ib/ft 3 ,
μv = 0.01 centipoise, and
dp = 310 μm = 1.02 x 10−3 ft.
Solution:
Using:
lb
centipoise2 (0.20 lb/ft3 )(1.02 x 10−3 ft)3 (30−0.20) 3
= (0.95x108 lb )( ft

2) Determine the stack height required to give a heat intensity of 1500 Btu/hr/ft 2 at a distance of 415 ft
from the base of the flare. The flare diameter is 3 ft, the flare load is 970,000 Ib/hr, and the molecular
weight of the vapor is 44. (5pts)
Given:
df = 3ft
qf = 1500 Btu/hr/ft 2

Solution:
Using:

4π(1500 Btu/hr/ft2 )(415ft)2 −960(970000 )(√44)
= -60(3ft) + 0.5 (√(120x3ft)2 − ( π(1500 Btu/hr/ft2 )
