A vertical vessel is to be designed to remove water drops from air prior to a blower. The vessel operates at 2 bar pressure and 50°C. Determine the appropriate vessel diameter to remove 100 μm water droplets and the corresponding velocity of air in the vessel.

Data: pl = 1000 kg/m³, pg = 2.156 kg/m³, µg = 19.62 × 106 kg/m/s, mass flowrate of vapor = 30,000 kg/hig = (30,000)/(2.156)/(3600) = 3.865 m³/s.
