Tank vent calculation

[chellsbreeze]

All,
I'm in the juncture of checking the design of a vent on the tank to cater higher flow and higher velocity.

Guide me with the calculation (formulae) or books assisting the same.

in simple terms i need "Tank Vent design or adequacy check calculation"

Regards,
Chells

I hope, somebody can answer for my problem... so, wind and earthquake design... I have the moment on the bottom tangent line, but above from the bottom tangent line, the wall thickness is thiner like the bottom (this is a liquid storage tank...), and I need to calculate the Moment in this area...how can I do it? my first idea is the following: M(earthquake)+M(wind)=q*x*x/2-->q=M(sum)*2/(x*x)...and I can solution that problem for x=5[m] (example)-->M=q*5*5/2 .... is that correct for earthquake??? (I know, for the wind load is that, but the earthquake?!) (q[N/m] ; x[m] ; M[N*m]) pleas, somebody help me )
