Internal diameter of gas separator
Input(s)
m: Mass Flow Rate \((\mathrm{lb} / \mathrm{h})\)
\(\mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{s}}\): Separator Coefficient \((\mathrm{ft} / \mathrm{h})\)
F: Fraction of Separator Available for Gas (fraction)
\(\rho_{1}\): Liquid Density \((\mathrm{g} / \mathrm{cc})\)
\(\rho_{\mathrm{g}}\): Gas Density \((\mathrm{g} / \mathrm{cc})\)
Output(s)
\(\mathrm{d}\): Internal Diameter \((\mathrm{ft})\)
Formula(s)
\[
\mathrm{d}=\frac{0.0188 *\left(\frac{\mathrm{m}}{\mathrm{F} * \mathrm{~K}_{\mathrm{s}}}\right)^{0.5}}{\left(\frac{\rho_{\mathrm{l}}-\rho_{\mathrm{g}}}{\rho_{\mathrm{g}}}\right)^{0.25}}
\]
