Water quantity that dilutes the original brine with assumed density (two-salt systems)
Input(s)
\(V_{d}\): Volume of Diluted Brine (bbl)
\(\rho_{i}\): Density of initial, undiluted Brine \((\mathrm{lbm} / \mathrm{bbl})\)
\(\rho_{d}\): Density of Diluted Brine \((\mathrm{lbm} / \mathrm{bbl})\)
\(\rho_{8.33}\) : Density of Water diluting the Original Brine \((\mathrm{lbm} / \mathrm{bbl})\)
Output(s)
\(V_{8.33}\): Volume of Water Diluting the Original Brine (bbl)
Formula(s)
\[
V_{8.33}=\left(V_{d}\right) \frac{\left(\rho_{i}-\rho_{d}\right)}{\left(\rho_{i}-\rho_{8.33}\right)}
\]
