Correct the trial diameter from step 1 for the liquid levels determined
in step 2. Use Figure 18.3 lc find ttrle percent liquid in the drum. For
example, if there is a 12-in. vapor space and a 6-in. minimum liquid
level, their respective areas are 19.5% and 7 .2%. This leaves 73.3% of
the area for liquid holdup. Begin a new trial ar step 1.b wíth 73.3%
(vol.86%).
4. Check for adequate reduction of entrainment.
a. Assume a value for R6¡ of 0.167.
b. Determine I from Equation (18.4). Use Equation (18.1) to obtain

5. If Z is less than or equal to the trial length, stop here-the trial siee is
the final size. If the length is greater than the trial length, two choices
exist. Either this new length can be used (if the LID ratio is still within
the economic range), or a new trial length and diameter must be found.
