A spring-operated relief device must be sized for a pressure vessel containing an ideal hydrocarbon vapor. The controlling scenario has a mass discharge rate, W, of 20 kg/s.

Question

A spring-operated relief device must be sized for a pressure vessel containing an
ideal hydrocarbon vapor. The controlling scenario has a mass discharge rate, W, of 20
kg/s. Assume a vessel Pmawp of 10 barg, no superimposed backpressure, a built-up
backpressure equal to 10% of set pressure and process temp of 473K. A review of
normal operating pressures concludes that a set pressure, Ps of 8 barg will be used.
The vapor has a molecular wt. of 120, heat capacity ratio of 1.3 and is ideal z=1.0.
Determine the orifice diameter
