A sieve tray needs to be designed for the new pilot plant. The tray must be capable of operating effectively at a turn-down ratio of 70%.
Given the following information:
Stream properties:
Vapor rate 87500kg/h
Liquid rate 70000kg/h
Vapor density 4.75kg/m3
Liquid density 852kg/m3
Surface tension 0.025N/m
Dimensions:
Down comer area (m2) 12% of the total area
Hole area 10% of active area
Hole diameter 5mm
Weir height 50mm
Tray spacing 0.6m
Tray thickness 5mm
Liquid flow arrangement - cross flow (single pass)
1. Estimate the diameter of the tray for 85% flooding
