uf : flooding vapor velocity, m/s uv: maximum velocity, m/s. x: percentage of flooding at max flowrate.( assume 85”% ) Maximum volumetric flow rate
Column Diameter Anet: Net area required, m2 Taking downcomer area as 12 percent of total Cross sectional area of downcomer= Column Diameter
Maximum volumetric liquid rate Column Height Maximum volumetric liquid rate Liquid flow arrangement
Total column cross sectional area Net area available for vapor liquid Ac = π/4 Dc2 Net area available for vapor liquid Active or bubbling area Hole area Ah = 0.1 Aa
Find lw/Dc from Figure Ad/Ac*100 Minimum liquid rate = 0.7* Max (Lw) Find Weir Length (lw) Minimum liquid rate = 0.7* Max (Lw)
Maximum how =750(Lw/(ρL lw))(2/3) Minimum how =750(Lw/(ρL lw))(2/3) Weir crest At minimum rate hw=50mm + how, from Figure 11.30 Find K2
uh (min) =(K2-0.90(25.4-dh))/ρv0.5 Hole diameter =5mm uh (min) =(K2-0.90(25.4-dh))/ρv0.5 Minimum vapor velocity actual minimum vapor velocity = min vapor rate /Ah Hole area Note: actual minimum vapor velocity should be greater than Uh Taking; Plate thickness/hole dia. = 1 Ah/Ap ( perforated area) = Ah/Aa from figure ( orifice cofficient) Co = 0.84
Total plate pressure drop (ht) = hd+hw+how+hr Vapor velocity Dry plate drop= hd = 51(uh/Co)2(ρv/ρL) Residual head (hr) = (12.5*103)/ρL Total plate pressure drop (ht) = hd+hw+how+hr
Back-up in downcomer (hb) = hw+how+ht+hdc Downcomer pressure drop (hap) = hw-10 Area under apron (Aap) = lw *hap*0.001 Head loss in downcomer hdc= hdc = Weir crest Back-up in downcomer (hb) = hw+how+ht+hdc hb less than tray spacing , so tray spacing is acceptable.
Residence Time Uv = Bottom V / An Percent flooding= Down comer backup Downcomer area Residence Time tr: residence time, should be > 3 s Uv = Bottom V / An Percent flooding= From figure, find ψ below 0.1 ( fractional entrainment)
Calculate lw/Dc From figure find
Angle subtended by the edge of the plate=180- θc Mean length, unperforated edge strips = Area of unperforated edge strips=0.05*mean length Mean length of calming zone = Area of calming zone =2*mean length of calming zone *0.05 Total area for perforations, Ap =Aa - area of unperforated edge strips - area of calming zone
