Question:

What is the equivalent value of k for the mist eliminator in Problem 23.26 that would give the same diameter for the vessel?


Problem 23.26

Estimate the diameter of a vertical V-L separator containing a 6 in (150 mm) thick stainless steel wire mesh mist eliminator. The properties of the gas and liquid are940kg/m, pg 7.36 kg/m = Pg = = 11. 45 m/s, v= 17 m/h, p = 0.0019 kg/m/s Pl= vg

For the stainless steel mist eliminator, the following properties should be used: density = 192 kg/m3; wire diameter = 280 μm; specific surface area, a = 350 m2/m3; and voidage, ε = 0.975.

You should base the design on 80% of flooding.
