Rules for Calculating the Size of a Vertical Separator via APEA Custom Model
Note: this custom model is intended to illustrate how to retrieve stream data from a process simulator and
simplified sizing calculations to design a vertical vessel. It is not intended to match the sizing results from
demonstrate how nozzles can be defined for a vessel (using a custom model). However, once nozzles are d
generated default nozzles.
Note: these calculations are based on a 2 phase system. If only a single phase (or if 3 phases) are present,
options.

Vertical Vessel Sizing with Mist Eliminator (Calculations based on Inch Pound Units using Souders
Diameter Calculation: Vt = K*((rl-rg)/rg)^0.5, where:
Vt = terminal velocity necessary for particles to settle out from gas, ft/s
K = empirical constant for separator sizing, ft/s
rl = liquid phase density, lb/ft3
rg = gas phase density, lb/ft3
