Question: How do I design a vapor - liquid separator? The gas is a mixture of mol % 4 % H 2 , 3 6 %

How do I design a vapor-liquid separator? The gas is a mixture of mol%4% H2,36% CO2 and 60% H2O and flowrate of 400 kmol/day (16.67 kmol/hr) at 350C and 1atm.Do I have to put a heat exchanger before the separator to decrease the gas temperature to a temperature below water boiling temperature before sending it to the separator? How do I maintain 1atm pressure inside the separator? And what equations do I use to dimension the separator (diameter, height, space between trays/demister)? Can I assume that the H2O condenses completely (no need to account for relative humidity/partial pressure of vapor)?
